Summary

CVE-2026-46546 is a low-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability in Frappe Learning. Its CVSS base score is 2.1 (Low).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Content Injection (T1659); ranked at the 3th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SC-8 (Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Frappe Learning Management System (LMS) is a learning system that helps users structure their content. Prior to version 2.53.0, an authenticated user could supply specially crafted content in certain user-editable fields that, when surfaced in page metadata, caused visitors' browsers…

to navigate to an attacker-chosen URL. This issue has been patched in version 2.53.0.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1659 Content Injection Initial Access
Adversaries may gain access and continuously communicate with victims by injecting malicious content into systems through online network traffic.
Why these techniques?

CWE-74 injection in user-editable fields directly enables content injection (T1659) that forces browser navigation to attacker URLs.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

SI-10 requires validation of all user-supplied input before it is rendered in page metadata, directly blocking the crafted content that triggers the open redirect.

prevent

SC-8 mandates cryptographic protection of data in transit, reducing the risk that an attacker can exploit the redirect to intercept or manipulate the victim’s session.

detect

SI-7 enables integrity checks on rendered content, providing a secondary means to detect unauthorized modifications that produce the malicious redirect.

Secure SDLC practices directly require input validation and output encoding that prevent injection flaws.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Patching and EOL replacement can remediate known XSS instances in libraries or frameworks (partial) but do nothing to enforce input neutralization in application code (none).

detects

Security testing in development catches injection vulnerabilities before release.

prevents

Knowledge exchange on emerging attack techniques and patches reduces the likelihood that cross-site scripting flaws remain unaddressed in deployed applications.

prevents

Operational indicators of compromise for web-application attacks can be incorporated into WAF or input-filtering rules, lowering the likelihood that unsanitized data reaches the browser.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
detects

Logging supports detection of injection attempts but does not prevent the weakness.

detects

Monitoring activities can identify active injection attacks after they occur.

prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and output encoding that directly prevent injection flaws.
