Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet.
What to do
- Upgrade frappe erpnext to a fixed version for your release line (15.121.4, 16.36.0).
- Until it is patched, review who holds accounts that can reach it.
Description from NVD
Frappe ERPNext before 15.121.4 and 16.x before 16.36.0 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in erpnext.crm.utils.get_open_activities that exposes ToDo and Event records. Any authenticated user, including portal or no-role users, can supply arbitrary ref_doctype and ref_docname values to enumerate activities and private calendar event details.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Permission checks in APIs and admin surfaces. The flaw sits between one role or tenant and another.
- Multi-tenant services. The flaw sits between one role or tenant and another.
Trust boundaries in play
- Authenticated network access. An account is needed, so exposure follows who can sign in: customers, partners or staff.
- Between one role or tenant and another. An attacker who crosses it can reach data or actions their role should not allow.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does frappe erpnext run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
