Summary
Frappe 15.11.0 through 16.32.0 stores and renders workspace card descriptions without XSS filtering. The description field is marked with ignore_xss_filter, and _sanitize_content() skips such fields, so the value is stored as submitted. It is then interpolated into a Bootstrap popover with html: true, allowing a user with the Workspace Manager role to execute arbitrary markup in the sessions of other desk users.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can steal session tokens and perform authenticated requests as the victim, including higher-privileged users, leading to unauthorized access and data integrity compromise.
Recommendation
Apply the fix from the development branch or upgrade to a patched release when available. Temporarily restrict Workspace Manager role assignments and monitor activity.
Other vulnerabilities in Frappe
See all- CVE-2026-66057Medium
Frappe is a full-stack web application framework. Prior to 15.116.0 and 16.29.0, the OAuth login flow uses an unsanitized client-controlled state parameter to select post-authentication navigation, allowing a crafted state value to redirect a user to an attacker-chosen location. This issue is fixed in versions 15.116.0 and 16.29.0.
- CVE-2026-55823High
Frappe is a full-stack web application framework. Prior to 16.23.0, the get_count() method in reportview composes a count operation around generated SQL through a raw database execution path, allowing crafted report input to alter SQL executed by the application.
- CVE-2025-68953High
Frappe, a full-stack web application framework, is vulnerable to path traversal attacks in versions 14.99.5 and below, and 15.0.0 through 15.80.1. Lack of proper sanitization on some requests allows arbitrary files to be retrieved from the server. This issue is fixed in versions 14.99.6 and 15.88.1.
- CVE-2017-1000120High
In Frappe versions up to 7.1.27, there is an SQL injection vulnerability in the frappe.share.get_users function that allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the fields parameter.
- CVE-2026-39351Critical
Frappe prior to versions 16.14.0 and 15.104.0 has a vulnerability allowing unrestricted Doctype access via API exploit.
- CVE-2025-68929Critical
Frappe is a full-stack web application framework. Prior to versions 14.99.6 and 15.88.1, an authenticated user with specific permissions could be tricked into accessing a specially crafted link. This could lead to a malicious template being executed on the server, resulting in remote code execution. Versions 14.99.6 and 15.88.1 fix the issue. No known workarounds are available.
- CVE-2026-109602Medium
Frappe before 15.118.0 and 16.x before 16.31.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in dashboard chart filters because jQuery renders entered filter values as rich text. Authenticated attackers can store malicious filter values that execute scripts in the browsers of users who view the dashboard chart.
- CVE-2026-109599Medium
Frappe before 15.113.3 and 16.x before 16.25.0 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in which certain endpoints fail to enforce proper authorization checks. Authenticated users can send requests to these endpoints to modify records beyond what their assigned role permits.
- CVE-2025-71431Medium
Frappe before 14.99.2 and 15.x before 15.86.0 contains an LDAP injection vulnerability because certain endpoints do not sanitize user-supplied parameters before using them in LDAP queries. Attackers can supply crafted LDAP filter syntax through these parameters to alter the resulting directory queries.
- CVE-2025-71430Medium
Frappe before 14.99.10 and 15.x before 15.91.1 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the leaderboard page because user names are rendered without proper neutralization. Authenticated attackers can set a crafted user name that executes arbitrary JavaScript in the browsers of other users who view the leaderboard.
Original NVD description (English source)
Frappe 15.11.0 through 16.32.0 stores and renders the workspace card description without XSS filtering. The description field of the Workspace Link doctype is declared with "ignore_xss_filter": 1 in frappe/desk/doctype/workspace_link/workspace_link.json, and _sanitize_content() in frappe/model/base_document.py skips any field carrying that flag, so the value is stored exactly as submitted. frappe.desk.desktop.get_desktop_page returns it unchanged, and LinksWidget.set_body() in frappe/public/js/frappe/widgets/links_widget.js interpolates it into a Bootstrap popover created with html: true, by way of the __() translation helper, which performs no HTML escaping. A user holding the Workspace Manager role can therefore place arbitrary markup in a public workspace's card description and have it execute in the session of any desk user who opens that workspace and hovers the description, including higher-privileged users, allowing session token theft and authenticated requests as the victim. The flag is removed on the development branch but remains present in the shipped 15.x and 16.x release lines, so no released version carries the fix.
