Authenticated arbitrary file read via path traversal
Published May 13, 2026 · Updated May 13, 2026
Path traversal in Frappe ERPNext before 15.101.1 and in the 16 branch before 16.10.0 allows remote authenticated users to read server files. Frappe identifies a vulnerable endpoint but has not published its route, file parameter, or the pathname operation that fails to confine input. Low-privileged application access is required, and successful exploitation exposes files readable by the ERPNext server process.
