Database disclosure via interpolated report filters
Published Oct 16, 2026 · Updated Oct 16, 2026
SQL injection in Frappe HR's ECS report allows remote authenticated users to read sensitive database records through crafted filters. The Salary Payments via ECS report's get_conditions function interpolates department, branch, company, month, and year values into SQL strings that get_data inserts into a database query. Exploitation requires authenticated HR access to the report; the documented consequence is disclosure, not database modification or service interruption.
