CVE-2026-55852: Frappe: TarSlip RCE in Package Import

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 34/100)

The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.67% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 52% of all records.
Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. Administrator privileges are required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
No fixed version is recorded, but the references include a patch (commit or PR) link.

Low priority for now. See the fix and affected versions sections below.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Frappe is a full-stack web application framework. Prior to 16.23.0 and 15.112.0, TarSlip RCE was possible in Package Import because tarfile members were not sufficiently checked before extraction. This issue is fixed in versions 16.23.0 and 15.112.0.

Root cause

A user-supplied file name is joined with the allowed directory, but the result is never checked to confirm it is still inside that directory.

The bug in code
