Summary

Frappe ERPNext before 15.120.0 and from 16.0.0-beta.1 before 16.33.0 is affected by a missing authorization flaw (CWE-862) in which certain endpoints do not enforce proper permission checks. An authenticated user with low privileges can request these endpoints directly to read financial data beyond what their assigned role permits. The CVSS 4.0 vector is network-reachable, requires low privileges and no user interaction, and gives high confidentiality impact.
