Summary
Frappe HRMS 15.0.0 before 15.64.6 and 16.0.0 before 16.20.1 does not check access to each employee on endpoints that create records in bulk for a list of employees. An authenticated user with create permission on the affected record type, such as HR User, can create records for employees outside their user-permission scope, including other companies' employees.
Who should check
Teams running Frappe HRMS 15.x or 16.x before 15.64.6 or 16.20.1 whose users are restricted by user permissions to certain employees or companies.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.
What cve.now has for CVE-2026-126314 (entry last updated 2026-11-13):
Affected:
- frappe hrms: from 15.0.0, fixed in 15.64.6

Conditions (all must be true for the bug to be hit):
- Frappe HRMS versions 15.0.0 before 15.64.6, or 16.0.0 before 16.20.1 (source: https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/frappe-hrms-15.0.0-before-15.64.6-missing-authorization-in-bulk-record-creation)
- Site restricts users to certain employees or companies through user permissions (source: https://github.com/frappe/hrms/security/advisories/GHSA-m8m7-r43p-2jjf)

Attacker needs: network access, low-privilege login, no user action.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-126314 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-126314 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.
How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.
Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:
- https://github.com/frappe/hrms/security/advisories/GHSA-m8m7-r43p-2jjf
- https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/frappe-hrms-15.0.0-before-15.64.6-missing-authorization-in-bulk-record-creation
Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing.
Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action.
