Summary
Frappe ERPNext before 15.113.0 and from 16.0.0-beta.1 before 16.24.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79). A profile field is rendered into portal pages without escaping, so a low-privilege attacker can store malicious script that runs in the browser of any administrator who views those pages. This enables administrator account takeover.
