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
Frappe is a full-stack web application framework. Prior to versions 14.66.3 and 15.16.0, file permission can be bypassed using certain endpoints, granting less privileged users permission to delete or clone a file. Versions 14.66.3 and 15.16.0 contain a patch for this issue. No known workarounds are available.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Frappe framework versions prior to 14.66.3 and 15.16.0 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in file operation endpoints that allows authenticated users with lower privileges to delete or clone files they should not have access to, effectively bypassing the framework's permission system for file resources.

MitigationUpgrade Frappe to version 14.66.3 or 15.16.0 or later to apply the patched access controls. No workarounds are available, so prompt patching is essential.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check installed Frappe framework version
    Query the Frappe instance or bench version command to retrieve the exact version number of the Frappe framework installation
    Affected if The installed version is below 14.66.3 or is between 15.0.0 and 15.16.0 (exclusive)
  2. Identify Frappe major version branch
    Determine whether the installation uses Frappe version 14.x or 15.x branch by examining the version string prefix
    Affected if The version falls into the 14.x branch before 14.66.3 or the 15.x branch before 15.16.0
  3. Verify file operation endpoints are accessible
    Confirm that file delete and clone/copy endpoints are reachable within the Frappe instance through API or web interface
    Affected if File operation endpoints exist and accept requests from authenticated users with lower privileges
  4. Confirm user permission system is in use
    Check that the Frappe instance has role-based permission system configured for file resources
    Affected if The permission system is active but the file operation endpoints do not properly enforce authorization checks

A user is affected if their Frappe installation version is either below 14.66.3 in the 14.x branch or between 15.0.0 and 15.16.0 in the 15.x branch, and file operation functionality is accessible to authenticated users.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 14.66.3 / 15.16.0 or later
Fixed in 14.66.315.16.0
Interim mitigation

Upgrade Frappe to version 14.66.3 or 15.16.0 or later to apply the patched access controls. No workarounds are available, so prompt patching is essential.

Recommended fix High confidence

14.66.3 for v14.x branch; 15.16.0 for v15.x branch

  1. Identify the current Frappe version in use by checking the installed Frappe version
  2. If running Frappe version 14.x: upgrade to version 14.66.3 or later (e.g., pip install frappe==14.66.3 or equivalent package manager command)
  3. If running Frappe version 15.x: upgrade to version 15.16.0 or later (e.g., pip install frappe==15.16.0 or equivalent package manager command)
  4. After upgrading, verify the installation by checking the new Frappe version matches the target fixed release
  5. Test that file permission enforcement is working correctly, particularly for delete and clone file operations
