Description

Frappe HR is an open-source human resources management solution (HRMS). Prior to 15.60.3 and 16.7.1, the Salary Payments via ECS report constructs report conditions with unsafe SQL string interpolation. An authenticated HR user supplies crafted Salary Payments via ECS report filter values. The affected Salary Payments via ECS report allows the user to inject SQL through report filter values. Successful exploitation can access sensitive database records. This issue is fixed in versions 15.60.3 and 16.7.1.

• CWE-89Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
