Technical details

The record-creation endpoint fails to enforce permission checks when the record type is supplied by the client, allowing authenticated users to bypass authorization and insert arbitrary record types. An authenticated attacker with low or no operational privileges can exploit this to create superuser accounts and achieve full site compromise. A fix is available in versions 15.111.0 and 16.22.0.

Affected products

Frappe ERPNext before 15.111.0 and 16.x before 16.22.0
