Path Traversal in Frappe Framework Allows Arbitrary File Access

Publication date: 2026-01-05

Last updated on: 2026-01-05

Assigner: GitHub, Inc.

Description
Frappe is a full-stack web application framework. Versions 14.99.5 and below and 15.0.0 through 15.80.1 include requests that are vulnerable to path traversal attacks. Arbitrary files from the server could be retrieved due to a lack of proper sanitization on some requests. This issue is fixed in versions 14.99.6 and 15.88.1. To workaround, changing the setup to use a reverse proxy is recommended.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability in Frappe versions 14.99.5 and below and 15.0.0 through 15.80.1 allows attackers to perform path traversal attacks. Due to improper sanitization of certain requests, an attacker can retrieve arbitrary files from the server.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive files on the server, potentially exposing confidential information. This can compromise the security of the system by allowing attackers to access data they should not have access to.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, upgrade Frappe to version 14.99.6 or above, or 15.88.1 or above. As a workaround, configure your setup to use a reverse proxy to help prevent exploitation of the path traversal issue.
