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
In Frappe ERPNext 15.57.5, the function get_rfq_containing_supplier() at erpnext/buying/doctype/request_for_quotation/request_for_quotation.py is vulnerable to SQL Injection, which allows an attacker to extract all information from databases by injecting SQL query via the txt parameter.

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
How this class of weakness works · CWE-89

User input is woven into a database query, letting an attacker rewrite the query's logic. From there they can read, alter, or destroy data — frequently the entire database. The reliable fix is parameterised queries (prepared statements), so input is always treated as data and never as SQL.

Recommended fix High confidence

ERPNext version-15 branch (15.57.6 or later)

  1. 1. Back up your ERPNext database and application data before proceeding with any upgrade.
  2. 2. Update your Frappe/ERPNext installation to include the fix from commit 7f2a52ff71a1fd5d4a9034cf217094c0be9f341a.
  3. 3. If using bench CLI, run: bench update --branch version-15 or bench update to pull the latest version-15 changes.
  4. 4. After update, verify the get_rfq_containing_supplier() function in erpnext/buying/doctype/request_for_quotation/request_for_quotation.py no longer uses unescaped txt parameter in SQL queries.
  5. 5. Clear caches: bench clear-cache and bench clear-website-cache.
  6. 6. Test the Request for Quotation functionality to ensure正常工作.
Caveat Minor version upgrade within v15 should have minimal breaking changes; always test in staging first
