Authenticated mass assignment via set_value
Published Aug 20, 2026 · Updated Aug 20, 2026
Mass assignment in Frappe Framework 16.31.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to modify protected fields via set_value. In frappe/client.py, frappe.client.set_value tests the unparsed fieldname argument against forbidden default and child-table fields, then parses dictionary input into individual keys and passes them to doc.update(). Valid credentials and reachability to the client endpoint are required, and the result is unauthorized record modification within the application rather than code execution.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
