CVE-2023-54345
Frappe Framework ERPNext 13.4.0 Remote Code Execution
Description

Frappe Framework ERPNext 13.4.0 contains a sandbox escape vulnerability in RestrictedPython that allows authenticated users with System Manager role to execute arbitrary code by exploiting frame introspection. Attackers can create a server script via the /app/server-script endpoint and access the gi_frame attribute to traverse the call stack and invoke os.popen to execute system commands.
