Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-126313 (this .md is for agents)

Frappe HRMS 16.0.0 before 16.20.1 is missing an ownership check on a record type employees can create. A logged-in user with only the Employee role can create or change draft records for another employee or for a company they do not belong to.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## From the sources

Frappe HRMS 16.0.0 before 16.20.1 contains an authorization bypass because an ownership check is missing on a record type that employees can create. Authenticated users holding only the Employee role can create or change draft records for another employee, or for a company they do not belong to.
