CVE-2023-54407 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.9 · Published 2026-10-12

Frappe is an open-source application framework used to build web-based business applications. An information disclosure vulnerability allows users who can access error logs to view sensitive secrets—such as database credentials and API keys—that are captured in traceback local variables. An attacker with error log access could extract these plaintext secrets for account takeover or unauthorized data access.

## Technical details

The vulnerability exists in Frappe's error logging and traceback handling, where local variables containing sensitive data are captured and stored in plaintext within error logs. An authenticated attacker with error log access (restricted to certain user roles) can read these logs and extract exposed secrets from variable traces. The issue is fixed by suppressing or filtering sensitive local variables from traceback output.
