Authenticated SQL injection in ERPNext 13.0.0/12.18.0
#####################################################


Overview
########

Advisory ID: TRSA-2103-01
Advisory version: 1.0
Advisory status: Public
Advisory URL: https://trovent.io/security-advisory-2103-01
Affected product: ERPNext
Tested versions: 12.18.0 and 13.0.0 beta

Detailed description
####################

Trovent Security GmbH discovered an SQL Injection vulnerability
in the "frappe.model.db_query.get_list" API endpoint.
On version 13.0.0 valid credentials without any privileges are sufficient
but on version 12.18.0 at least "system_user" privileges are required.
The vulnerable parameter "filters" allows injection of SQL statements.
An attacker is able to query all available database tables to retrieve
usernames, password hashes or password reset tokens which can then be used
to reset administrator passwords.


Severity: High
CVSS Score: 8.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CWE ID: 89
CVE ID: TBD
