Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in ERPNext versions up to 15.88.1 where the system does not properly sanitize or remove certain HTML tags, specifically <a> hyperlinks, in fields that are supposed to contain only plain text.

Although JavaScript is blocked to prevent cross-site scripting (XSS), the HTML links remain intact in the PDF documents generated by the ERP system.

Because these PDFs are generally trusted by users, an attacker can inject malicious clickable links into them, potentially leading to phishing attacks or malware delivery.

This issue occurs specifically in the 'Add Quality Goal' function of ERPNext.
