CVE-2026-111056: FOSSBilling email enumeration via guest signup endpoint

CVE-2026-111056 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-19

FOSSBilling is an open-source billing and client-management platform. The unauthenticated guest signup endpoint reveals whether an email address belongs to an existing customer by returning distinct error messages, allowing attackers to enumerate registered client email addresses without authentication. This information disclosure could be used to target customers with phishing or social engineering attacks.

Technical details

The POST /api/guest/client/create endpoint exposed an email enumeration vulnerability: the Guest::create() method threw a distinct "already registered" exception when an email belonged to an existing client, versus returning a new client ID for new registrations. Unauthenticated attackers could exploit this by comparing API responses to determine which email addresses are registered. The fix changes the endpoint to silently skip account creation for existing emails and fall through to a login attempt, eliminating the discernible error response.
