CVE-2026-85293: InvoicePlane stored XSS in client email field

CVE-2026-85293 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.8 · Published 2026-09-25

InvoicePlane is a self-hosted invoicing application that manages client data and generates invoices and quotes. An administrator can inject malicious JavaScript into a client's email field, which then executes in the browsers of other administrators when they open the invoice or quote mailer pages. This allows attackers with admin access to compromise other admin accounts and perform unauthorized actions.

Technical details

Stored XSS vulnerability in invoice and quote mailer views where client_email values are rendered unescaped inside double-quoted HTML attributes, allowing attribute-breaking payloads like `" autofocus onfocus="..."`. The global POST XSS filter strips HTML tags but does not encode attribute-breaking characters. An authenticated administrator who can edit clients can store malicious payloads that execute in other admins' sessions when mailer pages are accessed. Fixed in version 1.7.2 by escaping client_email with htmlsc(ENT_QUOTES) and adding email validation.
