CVE-2026-126317 · published 1 day ago
Summary

In versions of Frappe HRMS from 16.0.0 up to 16.20.0, the system does not check a user's permission before showing company details. As a result, any employee who can log in can request a list of every company on the site and see its default currency, even if they shouldn't have that information. Upgrade to version 16.20.1 or later and verify that access controls are correctly configured.
