Summary
Frappe ERPNext before 15.121.3 and from 16.0.0-beta.1 before 16.35.0 is affected. Certain endpoints fail to enforce role-based authorization checks (CWE-862), so an authenticated user can read financial data beyond the permissions granted by their assigned role. Exploitation requires low privileges and no user interaction, and the impact is limited to confidentiality.
