CVE-2026-39372: InvoicePlane EXIF metadata disclosure in image attachments

CVE-2026-39372 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.9 · Published 2026-09-25

InvoicePlane is an open-source invoicing and payment management system used by businesses to track financial transactions. When administrators upload images to invoices or quotes, the system fails to strip sensitive metadata (GPS coordinates, timestamps, device information) from those files before sharing them with other users. This allows recipients to discover administrators' locations, when photos were taken, and what devices were used.

Technical details

InvoicePlane prior to version 1.7.2 stores and serves uploaded image attachments without removing EXIF metadata. When an authenticated administrator uploads an image through the attachment feature and shares it with other users, recipients can extract embedded GPS coordinates, camera timestamps, and device identifiers. The vulnerability requires administrator access to upload images but affects all users who receive those attachments.
