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
An issue was discovered in Frappe ERPNext through 15.89.0. Function get_outstanding_reference_documents() at erpnext.accounts.doctype.payment_entry.payment_entry.py is vulnerable to SQL Injection. It allows an attacker to extract arbitrary data from the database by injecting SQL payloads via the from_posting_date parameter, which is directly interpolated into the query without proper sanitization or parameter binding.

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.

Upgrade available Upgrade to a release after 15.89.0
Recommended fix Moderate confidence

ERPNext version 15.90.0 or later in the 15.x stable series

  1. 1. Back up your ERPNext database and files before proceeding with any upgrade.
  2. 2. Check the ERPNext/Frappe release notes or GitHub repository for version 15.90.0 or later to confirm the security fix for CVE-2025-66439.
  3. 3. Update ERPNext to version 15.90.0 or the latest stable version in the 15.x series using the bench update command: bench update --upgrade.
  4. 4. After updating, verify the fix by checking that the get_outstanding_reference_documents() function in erpnext/accounts/doctype/payment_entry/payment_entry.py now uses parameterized queries for the from_posting_date parameter.
  5. 5. Test the payment entry functionality to ensure the application works correctly after the upgrade.
Caveat Review the release notes between 15.89.0 and the target version for any breaking changes related to the payment entry module or accounting features.
