What is CVE-2026-81731?
Frappe 15.11.0 through 16.32.0 stores and renders the workspace card description without XSS filtering. The description field of the Workspace Link doctype is declared with "ignore_xss_filter": 1 in frappe/desk/doctype/workspace_link/workspace_link.json, and _sanitize_content() in frappe/model/base_document.py skips any field carrying that flag, so the value is stored exactly as submitted. frappe.desk.desktop.get_desktop_page returns it unchanged, and LinksWidget.set_body() in frappe/public/js/frappe/widgets/links_widget.js interpolates it into a Bootstrap popover created with html: true, by way of the __() translation helper, which performs no HTML escaping. A user holding the Workspace Manager role can therefore place arbitrary markup in a public workspace's card description and have it execute in the session of any desk user who opens that workspace and hovers the description, including higher-privileged users, allowing session token theft and authenticated requests as the victim. The flag is removed on the development branch but remains present in the shipped 15.x and 16.x release lines, so no released version carries the fix.
CVSS Score Explained
CVSS 5.1 is Medium severity. Exploitation usually requires some specific conditions (local access, user interaction, or a particular config). Still worth patching in your next maintenance window.

- CVE-2026-80158A flaw was found in the ipa_getkeytab module of the community.general
Ansible collection. The module's bind_pw parameter, used to supply the LDAP simple-bind password when retrieving a Kerberos keytab, is not declared with no_log, unlike the sibling password parameter in the same module. As a consequence, the supplied IPA/LDAP bind password is recorded in cleartext in the managed host's system journal/syslog (the module's "Invoked with" record), is included in the module's return values and verbose (-v) output, and is displayed in Automation Controller / AWX job output. The password is additionally passed on the command line to the ipa-getkeytab helper (as --bindpw <value>), exposing it in the process list to local users while the command runs. An attacker able to read these logs, job output, or the process table can obtain the directory bind credential, potentially compromising the accounts and objects that credential can access.5.5
