Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this blog post, we will be diving deep into the details of a high severity security vulnerability (CVE-2025-52039) identified in Frappe ERPNext 15.57.5. This vulnerability, which lies in the get_material_requests_based_on_supplier() function, creates a potential for SQL Injection attacks. ERPNext is a popular open-source Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software used by many organizations to manage their businesses. This vulnerability has the potential to affect a wide range<\/a> of businesses across various sectors and could lead to system compromise or data leakage if left unaddressed.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-52039
\nSeverity: High, CVSS score 8.2
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: Low
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: Potential system<\/a> compromise and data leakage<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

Frappe ERPNext | 15.57.5<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vulnerability resides in the get_material_requests_based_on_supplier() function in the material_request.py file. This function is susceptible to SQL Injection<\/a> attacks due to inadequate sanitization of the ‘txt’ parameter. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by injecting<\/a> malicious SQL queries into the ‘txt’ parameter. These queries can then be executed directly on the database, potentially allowing<\/a> the attacker to view, modify, or delete data.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. This HTTP request contains a malicious SQL query in the ‘txt’ parameter.<\/p>\n

POST \/api\/method\/erpnext.stock.doctype.material_request.material_request.get_material_requests_based_on_supplier HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/json\n{ \"txt\": \"' OR '1'='1'; DROP TABLE users; --\" }<\/code><\/pre>\n
This payload would cause the application to execute the SQL query, potentially leading to unauthorized access<\/a> to sensitive data or even deletion of critical data (in this case, the ‘users’ table).<\/p>\n
Mitigation<\/strong><\/p>\n
The most effective way to mitigate this vulnerability is by applying the patch provided by the vendor. If the patch cannot be applied immediately, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can provide temporary protection by detecting and blocking SQL Injection<\/a> attacks. It is also recommended to use prepared statements or parameterized queries to prevent SQL Injection<\/a> in the long term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
