## Affected

- frappe hrms: fixed in 15.60.3; from 16.0.0, fixed in 16.7.1

## Description

Frappe HR is an open-source human resources management solution (HRMS). Prior to 15.60.3 and 16.7.1, the Salary Payments via ECS report constructs report conditions with unsafe SQL string interpolation. An authenticated HR user supplies crafted Salary Payments via ECS report filter values. The affected Salary Payments via ECS report allows the user to inject SQL through report filter values. Successful exploitation can access sensitive database records. This issue is fixed in versions 15.60.3 and 16.7.1.
