## How to fix

## Technical details

The whitelisted erpnext.buying.utils.get_linked_material_requests method fails to enforce document-level or company permission checks, allowing authenticated users (including those with minimal roles or portal access) to query open Purchase-type Material Requests across company boundaries. The vulnerability stems from insufficient filtering on Material Request queries by company context. An attacker with any authenticated access can retrieve material request metadata and quantities for arbitrary item codes belonging to other organizations.
