Am I affected?
Check the version of Simple.ERP you are running and compare it against the Affected row above (Simple.ERP 0 to <6.30@A04.4_u06). If your build sits inside the affected range, you must patch.
Run the version check that fits your platform:
# Linux package check
dpkg -s simple-erp 2>/dev/null | grep -i ^Version
rpm -q simple-erp 2>/dev/null
command -v simple-erp >/dev/null && simple-erp --version 2>/dev/null
# Windows (PowerShell)
Get-Package -Name "*Simple.ERP*" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Select-Object Name, Version
winget list --name "Simple.ERP" 2>$null
How to fix CVE-2026-1198
Upgrade Simple.ERP to a patched build: See vendor advisory. The vendor advisory is the source of truth for the exact fixed version.
Ubuntu / Debian
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade simple-erp
dpkg -s simple-erp | grep -i ^Version
RHEL / CentOS / Rocky / AlmaLinux
sudo dnf upgrade --refresh simple-erp -y
# or for older releases:
sudo yum update simple-erp -y
rpm -q simple-erp
SUSE / openSUSE
sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper update simple-erp
rpm -q simple-erp

If you can't patch immediately
Apply at least one of the following inline controls until you can deploy the patched build. None replace the upgrade.
Restrict exposure with nftables (Linux)
# Allow only trusted CIDR to reach the affected service ports
sudo nft add table inet filter 2>/dev/null || true
sudo nft 'add chain inet filter input { type filter hook input priority 0 ; }' 2>/dev/null || true
sudo nft 'add rule inet filter input tcp dport {80, 443} ip saddr != 10.0.0.0/8 drop'
sudo nft list ruleset
Block at the host firewall (Windows)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block-CVE-2026-1198" -Direction Inbound -Action Block -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 80,443 -RemoteAddress Any -Enabled True
Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block-CVE-2026-1198"
Disable the affected service (Linux)
sudo systemctl stop simple-erp 2>/dev/null || true
sudo systemctl disable simple-erp 2>/dev/null || true
If the vendor advisory lists an official workaround, prefer that wording verbatim. If no workaround is published, the only safe remediation is the patch.
How to verify the fix worked
After upgrading, confirm the installed version matches the patched build and that no old library is still loaded by a long-running process.
# Linux
dpkg -s simple-erp 2>/dev/null | grep -i ^Version
rpm -q simple-erp 2>/dev/null || true
# Pid map check for old library handles
sudo lsof +c0 2>/dev/null | grep -i "DEL.*lib" || true
# Windows
Get-Package -Name "*Simple.ERP*" | Select-Object Name, Version
Get-HotFix | Sort-Object InstalledOn -Descending | Select-Object -First 5
Expected: the reported version is at or above See vendor advisory. Restart the affected service (systemctl restart <service> on Linux, or restart the Windows service) so it loads the patched binary.
