Summary
Frappe Framework before 15.120.0 and from 16.0.0-beta.1 before 16.33.0 has a missing authorization check in the whitelisted send_sms API endpoint. The endpoint does not verify that the caller may send SMS messages, so users without the required permissions can send arbitrary SMS messages that impersonate the company (CWE-862). A remote attacker with low privileges can exploit this without user interaction.
