How to Fix CVE-2025-30212

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Frappe dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

frappe fixed: 14.89.0 
pip install frappe>=14.89.0
frappe fixed: 15.51.0 
pip install frappe>=15.51.0
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show frappe

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2025-30212, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show frappe

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Frappe in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 14.89.0), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show frappe command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection'), where 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. In Frappe, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact An SQL Injection vulnerability has been identified in Frappe Framework which could allow a malicious actor to access sensitive information. ### Workarounds Upgrading is required, no other workaround is present. ### Credits Thanks to Thanh of Calif.io for reporting the issue
