Frappe ERPNext | v15.57.5

How the Exploit Works

The vulnerability resides in the function `get_stock_balance()` at `erpnext/stock/utils.py`. The function’s `inventory_dimensions_dict` parameter is vulnerable to SQL Injection. An attacker can craft malicious SQL queries and inject them into this parameter. Upon execution, the attacker can extract all information from the system’s databases, leading to potential compromise of sensitive data.

Conceptual Example Code

The following conceptual example demonstrates how this vulnerability could potentially be exploited. The malicious SQL command is injected through the `inventory_dimensions_dict` parameter.

POST /api/stock/utils/get_stock_balance HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{
"inventory_dimensions_dict": "' OR '1'='1'; SELECT * FROM users; --"
}

Mitigation

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to apply the vendor-provided patch as soon as possible. In the interim, organizations can use Web Application Firewalls (WAF) or Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) to detect and prevent attempts to exploit this vulnerability. Regular monitoring and auditing of system logs can provide early detection of any nefarious activities.
