CVE-2026-72911Network attack vectorHinoki check available

Authenticated code execution through unrestricted Jinja globals

Published Aug 10, 2026 · Updated Aug 10, 2026

Server-side template injection in Frappe ERPNext before 15.118.0 and 16.0.0 through 16.28.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute code. The Process Statement of Accounts code validates and renders subject, body, and PDF-name fields with unrestricted Jinja globals, exposing frappe.utils to attacker-controlled template expressions. Access through a common operational role is sufficient and requires no further user interaction, allowing server-side code execution and application-wide data reads.
