CVE-2026-94039 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.3 · Published 2026-09-20

TaxHacker is a self-hosted accounting application that generates PDF invoices. An unauthenticated attacker can remotely trigger PDF generation with a malicious business logo parameter, allowing them to read arbitrary files from the server or probe internal network services.

Technical details

The generateInvoicePDF server action in /apps/invoices/actions.ts lacks authentication checks and passes the businessLogo parameter unsanitized to the @react-pdf/renderer image resolver. The resolver treats absolute filesystem paths as local files (calling fs.readFile) and http/https URLs as remote resources (making fetch requests), enabling both local file read and server-side request forgery. The action is reachable without authentication via POST with a Next-Action header.
