Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A sandboxing issue in Odoo Community 15.0 and earlier and Odoo Enterprise 15.0 and earlier allows authenticated administrators to access and modify database contents of other tenants, in a multi-tenant system.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Odoo 16.0 or later

  1. 1. Back up your current Odoo database and configuration files before attempting any upgrade.
  2. 2. Identify your current Odoo installation (Community or Enterprise edition).
  3. 3. For Odoo Community: Download and install Odoo 16.0 or later from the official Odoo repository (https://github.com/odoo/odoo).
  4. 4. For Odoo Enterprise: Contact Odoo for the Enterprise 16.0 or later package and follow their upgrade documentation.
  5. 5. Test the upgrade in a staging environment to verify multi-tenant sandboxing is functioning correctly.
  6. 6. After confirming the fix, deploy the upgraded version to production.
Caveat Upgrading from Odoo 15.0 may introduce breaking changes in custom modules, workflows, and database schema - test thoroughly in staging before production deployment
