CVE-2026-23513 — FOSSBilling: Broken Authorization in Client Transaction and Order Listings
FOSSBilling is a free, open-source billing and client management system. In versions 0.7.2 and prior, a query-construction flaw in client list endpoints allowed authenticated clients to bypass tenant scoping and retrieve other clients’ data. Details In ServiceTransaction::getSearchQuery() and Order\Service::getSearchQuery(), OR-based search/action filters were appended without grouping, allowing SQL operator precedence to evaluate OR clauses independently of the enforced client_id constraint. Crafted requests could therefore return records and metadata belonging to other clients, including identifiers, amounts, status, timestamps, and related fields. This issue was fixed in version 0.8.0.
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- EPSS 0.4% (30-day exploitation probability)+5
- Technical severity (high)+6
The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).
Triage
Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.
CISA SSVC assessment CISA
Three decision points CISA publishes for the CVEs it assesses (SSVC 2.0.3). A stakeholder decision, not a severity score.
Remediation
Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.
No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.
- Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (FOSSBilling FOSSBilling).
- No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
- Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (access control), errors and authentication anomalies.

Detection
Read off the CVSS vector and the weakness class. Starting points, not tested rules.
- Prioritize edge telemetry for the network-reachable component (proxy, WAF, IDS/IPS).
- Audit administrative actions and access to resources outside each user’s normal pattern.

What should defenders know first?
CVE-2026-23513 is "FOSSBilling: Broken Authorization in Client Transaction and Order Listings", rated High. It affects FOSSBilling (FOSSBilling); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 7.1 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.39% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
