Overview

The vulnerability CVE-2025-52040 is a serious concern for organizations using the Frappe ERPNext 15.57.5 system. This vulnerability is an SQL injection point in the get_blanket_orders() function located in erpnext/controllers/queries.py. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to extract all information from the databases by injecting a malicious SQL query into the blanket_order_type parameter. Given the severity of this vulnerability, it is imperative that all affected organizations take immediate action to patch their systems or implement a temporary mitigation solution.

How the Exploit Works

The exploit takes advantage of a lack of proper input sanitization in the get_blanket_orders() function of Frappe ERPNext 15.57.5. A malicious user can craft a SQL query and inject it into the blanket_order_type parameter. This injected SQL query is then executed by the system, potentially leading to unauthorized access and extraction of sensitive data from the system’s databases.

Conceptual Example Code

The following is a conceptual example of an HTTP request that exploits the vulnerability. Please note that this is a simplified representation and actual exploitation may involve more complex SQL queries.

POST /api/method/erpnext.controllers.queries.get_blanket_orders HTTP/1.1
Host: vulnerable-erp.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{
"blanket_order_type": "'; DROP TABLE users; --"
}

In this example, the attacker uses an SQL injection attack known as the “DROP TABLE” command to delete the “users” table from the database.
Remember that this is just a hypothetical example. The actual SQL query used in an attack could be designed to extract, modify, or delete any kind of data in the database.

Recommended Mitigation

Users are strongly advised to apply the latest vendor patch to fix this vulnerability. In case the patch is not available or cannot be applied immediately, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can provide temporary mitigation. It’s essential to regularly update and patch your systems to minimize the risk of such vulnerabilities being exploited.
