CVE-2026-118855: Akaunting stored cross-site scripting in invoice status field

CVE-2026-118855 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-12

Akaunting is online accounting software that manages invoices and financial documents. An authenticated user can import malicious HTML code into an invoice's status field during import. When another user opens that invoice to edit it, the stored code executes in their browser, allowing the attacker to steal sensitive financial data, modify invoices, or take over their account.

Technical details

A stored XSS vulnerability exists in Akaunting 3.3.0's invoice import functionality. An authenticated user with invoice-creation permission can inject HTML/JavaScript into the invoice status field. When a second authenticated user opens the invoice's edit form, the application renders the status field in a hidden input using raw Blade templating output without sanitization, allowing attacker-controlled markup to execute in the victim's browser within the Akaunting origin.
