CVE-2026-115720 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2026-115720: Frappe Builder before 1.36.1 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in builder/api.py where the assert_not_private_url() guard validates only the initial hostname before callers invoke requests.get(url) with default redirect-following and no IP pinning, allowing an attacker-supplied public URL to HTTP-redirect to internal or link-local addresses the guard never validated. An authenticated attacker can call the convert_to_webp endpoint, which lacks a permission decorator, with a URL that redirects to internal targets such as cloud metadata services to perform SSRF, internal port scanning, or trigger a request-hang denial of service due to the missing timeout.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2026-115720

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2026-115720 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2026-115720

CVE-2026-115720 presents an accessible attack vector with minimal effort required. Restricting access controls and implementing security updates are critical to reducing exploitation risks.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-115720, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.

CIA Impact Analysis

Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2026-115720, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.

  • Confidentiality: Low
    CVE-2026-115720 could lead to minor leaks of non-critical information without major privacy breaches.
  • Integrity: None
    CVE-2026-115720 poses no threat to data integrity.
  • Availability: None
    CVE-2026-115720 does not impact system availability.

CWE-918

CAPEC Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification

  • Server Side Request Forgery CAPEC-664 An adversary exploits improper input validation by submitting maliciously crafted input to a target application running on a server, with the goal of forcing the server to make a request either to itself, to web services running in the server’s internal network, or to external third parties. If successful, the adversary’s request will be made with the server’s privilege level, bypassing its authentication controls. This ultimately allows the adversary to access sensitive data, execute commands on the server’s network, and make external requests with the stolen identity of the server. Server Side Request Forgery attacks differ from Cross Site Request Forgery attacks in that they target the server itself, whereas CSRF attacks exploit an insecure user authentication mechanism to perform unauthorized actions on the user's behalf.
