CVE-2026-111048: FOSSBilling stored XSS in support ticket notes

CVE-2026-111048 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-02

FOSSBilling is an open source billing and client management platform used by hosting and service companies. An attacker with staff access and support ticket permissions can inject malicious scripts into support ticket notes that execute when other staff members view those notes. The injected script runs with the viewer's full session permissions and can steal data, perform administrative actions, or compromise accounts of high-privilege users.

Technical details

The admin/support/note_create endpoint accepts and stores the note parameter without HTML sanitization in the support_ticket_note table. The admin ticket list template renders stored notes via innerHTML, allowing stored cross-site scripting (XSS). A staff user with support.manage_tickets permission can craft JavaScript payloads that execute in the browser of any staff member viewing the ticket, with access to that viewer's session privileges, CSRF tokens, and ability to read client or invoice data. The fix sanitizes notes as plain text on storage and renders them as text nodes instead of innerHTML to prevent both new and previously stored XSS payloads.
