## How to fix

- Fixed in ERPNext 15.121.0, 16.34.0

## Technical details

Certain whitelisted API endpoints for status modification fail to enforce proper authorization checks, allowing an authenticated user to invoke state-changing methods without required write, submit, cancel, document, or role-based access controls. An attacker with low-privileged authenticated access can bypass these checks via direct endpoint invocation. The vulnerability is fixed by adding missing permission validation to the affected methods.
