CVE-2026-72908
What it is
ERPNext is a free and open source Enterprise Resource Planning tool. Prior to 15.109.0 and 16.20.0, the get_tax_template function in erpnext/accounts/doctype/tax_rule/tax_rule.py constructs an SQL WHERE clause from request-influenced posting_date and args values, allowing an authenticated low-privilege user to inject SQL and extract sensitive information. This issue is fixed in versions 15.109.0 and 16.20.0.
