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

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> a malicious SQL query into the blanket_order_type parameter. Given the severity of this vulnerability<\/a>, it is imperative that all affected organizations take immediate action to patch their systems or implement a temporary mitigation solution.<\/p>\n

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

CVE ID: CVE-2025-52040
\nSeverity: High – CVSS Score 8.2
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: Low
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: Potential system compromise<\/a> or 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 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<\/a> it into the blanket_order_type parameter. This injected SQL<\/a> query is then executed by the system, potentially leading to unauthorized access and extraction of sensitive data from the system’s databases.<\/p>\n

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

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

POST \/api\/method\/erpnext.controllers.queries.get_blanket_orders HTTP\/1.1\nHost: vulnerable-erp.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/json\n{\n\"blanket_order_type\": \"'; DROP TABLE users; --\"\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n
In this example, the attacker uses an SQL injection<\/a> attack known as the “DROP TABLE” command to delete the “users” table from the database.
\nRemember that this is just a hypothetical example. The actual SQL query used in an attack could be designed<\/a> to extract, modify, or delete any kind of data in the database.<\/p>\n
Recommended Mitigation<\/strong><\/p>\n
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<\/a> being exploited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
