Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows an authenticated low-privileged attacker to stop, resume, or close Work Orders outside their permitted companies or records in ERPNext.
The vulnerability exists due to Manufacturing endpoints checking document-type write permission instead of authorization for each targeted Work Order. An authenticated low-privileged attacker with a Manufacturing role and Work Order write access can submit a crafted request naming another company's Work Order to change its status without victim interaction.
