CVE-2026-53640 Details
Description
FOSSBilling is a free, open-source billing and client management system. Prior to version 0.8.0, low-privileged staff accounts may read sensitive data via admin API endpoints that lack permission checks. While sibling write endpoints correctly enforce fine-grained permissions, the corresponding read endpoints have no authorization guards. Version 0.8.0 contains a fix. Some workarounds are available. Restrict staff accounts to only those who need access to sensitive data and/or use a reverse proxy or WAF to restrict access to the affected endpoints.
A vulnerability in FOSSBilling prior to version 0.8.0 allows low-privileged staff accounts to access sensitive data through admin API endpoints that lack proper permission checks. While write endpoints enforce fine-grained permissions, the corresponding read endpoints do not have authorization guards. This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 0.7.2.
Users can upgrade to FOSSBilling version 0.8.0 or later, restrict staff accounts to those who need access to sensitive data, and use a reverse proxy or Web Application Firewall (WAF) to limit access to the affected API endpoints.
