Frappe is a full-stack web application framework. Prior to 16.19.0 and 15.109.0, path traversal via download_backups was possible due to lack of hardening. This issue is fixed in versions 16.19.0 and 15.109.0.
CVE-2026-42219
This medium-severity CVE scores 6.9 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.5%, top 63% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
