AI Threat Summary

CVE-2026-61806 is a moderate vulnerability affecting the target software. Threat hunters should monitor for exploit attempts and apply vendor patches immediately.

Description

Frappe Learning Management System (LMS) is a learning system that helps users structure their content. Prior to version 2.54.2, unpublished certificate records can be retrieved and viewed by users who should not have access, rather than being limited to the certificate owner and authorized staff. This can expose certificate details belonging to other users. Access to published certificates by their identifier is intentional for third-party verification and is not affected. The issue does not allow modifying data or gaining elevated privileges. This issue is fixed in version 2.54.2.

3
Defense Evasion

Elevated privileges used to disable security controls, clear logs, and establish persistence

4
Impact

Full system compromise achieved; attacker can install ransomware, exfiltrate all data, or pivot
