# Frappe HRMS: missing authorization lets logged-in users read records and send emails

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-126411 (this .md is for agents)

Frappe HRMS 16.0.0 before 16.50.0 has HR workflow endpoints without authorization checks. Any logged-in user, including one with only the Employee role, can read candidate details and employee email addresses and trigger emails to employees.

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

## How to check

- Check the installed HRMS version in the app (for example `bench version` on a Frappe bench) and confirm whether it falls in 16.0.0 up to 16.50.0.
- Review whether your site has HR workflow features in use (candidate records, employee emails).

## Fix

- Frappe HRMS: move to `16.50.0` or later.

## From the sources

Frappe HRMS 16.0.0 before 16.50.0 lacks authorization checks on certain HR workflow endpoints, letting authenticated users access records they are not permitted to view. Any logged-in user, including one with only the Employee role, can read candidate record details and employee email addresses, and cause emails to be sent to employees.
