CVE-2026-53569

MEDIUMPre-NVD 5.35.3
EchelonGraph scoreMEDIUM confidence

This medium-severity CVE scores 5.3 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.3%, top 73% 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).

Frappe is a full-stack web application framework. In version 16.31.0 and earlier, the whitelisted toggle_like and mark_as_seen endpoints in frappe/desk/like.py and frappe/desk/doctype/note/note.py do not enforce read permission before modifying _liked_by metadata or a Note seen state. An authenticated user can interact with documents or notes that the user cannot read, disclosing resource existence and modifying resource-associated metadata. No released fixed version is available as of this review.
