CVE-2026-44206
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 · uneditedFrappe is a full-stack web application framework. Prior to versions 15.107.2 and 16.17.4, DB Schema Enumeration is possible through exploiting an endpoint. This issue has been patched in versions 15.107.2 and 16.17.4.
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 · moderate confidenceFrappe framework versions prior to 15.107.2 and 16.17.4 contain an endpoint that allows unauthenticated or low-privilege attackers to enumerate database schema information, exposing table names, column structures, and potentially sensitive metadata about the application's data model.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Frappe framework versionCheck the installed Frappe version via the command 'bench version' or by inspecting the version file in the Frappe installation directoryAffected if Version is below 15.107.2 or 16.17.4 (or between 15.x and 16.x with version less than the patched releases)
-
Locate the API endpointExamine Frappe's API routing configuration files (typically in the frappe/api.py or frappe/app.py) to identify schema-related endpoints, particularly those handling database metadata queriesAffected if A schema enumeration endpoint exists in the codebase and is routed without version-specific path restrictions
-
Verify endpoint accessibilityAttempt to access the suspected schema endpoint using a web request tool (curl, browser DevTools) without providing valid authentication credentialsAffected if The endpoint responds with database schema data (table names, column names, table structures) without requiring authentication
-
Check API authentication configurationInspect the endpoint's authentication decorators in the Frappe source code or examine the API Gateway/WAF rules controlling access to this endpointAffected if The endpoint either lacks @frappe.apikey.auth or @frappe.login_required decorators, or network-layer controls permit unauthenticated access
-
Confirm low-privilege user accessLog in with a low-privilege user account (e.g., a guest or standard user role) and attempt to access the endpointAffected if The endpoint returns schema information to users without System Manager or Administrator privileges
You are affected if your Frappe installation version is prior to 15.107.2 or 16.17.4 AND the vulnerable schema enumeration endpoint is accessible without proper authentication.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade Frappe to version 15.107.2 or 16.17.4 or later to patch the vulnerable endpoint. If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict network access to the affected endpoint as a temporary compensating control.
Frappe v15.107.2 or v16.17.4 (depending on your major version branch)
- Identify your current Frappe version by checking the bench or installation
- For Frappe version 15.x: Upgrade to version 15.107.2 or later
- For Frappe version 16.x: Upgrade to version 16.17.4 or later
- Run bench update to apply the patch
- Verify the upgrade was successful and the endpoint is no longer exposing schema information
- Test that application functionality remains intact after upgrade
