frappe — Vulnerabilities & Security Advisories 149

Frappe is an open-source web framework primarily utilized for building enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications, most notably through its flagship product, ERPNext. With seventy recorded Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures, the platform has faced significant scrutiny regarding its security posture. Historically, the most prevalent vulnerability classes include Remote Code Execution (RCE), Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and SQL injection, often stemming from insufficient input validation or improper access controls within custom modules. Privilege escalation flaws have also been documented, allowing unauthorized users to gain elevated permissions. While the core framework itself receives regular updates, the extensive ecosystem of third-party apps introduces variability in security hygiene. Major incidents have largely involved misconfigurations or exploited bugs in specific integrations rather than fundamental architectural failures, highlighting the critical importance of rigorous patch management and secure coding practices for developers extending the Frappe platform.
