FOSSBilling vulnerabilities

FOSSBilling is a free, open-source billing and client management system. Prior to version 0.8.1, downloadable product files are stored using a deterministic filename-derived path. When an administrator uploads a file for a downloadable product, FOSSBilling stores the file as `md5(<original filename>)` under the uploads directory. Because the stored path depends only on the client-supplied filename, two different downloadable products, or product/order files, uploaded with the same original filename will resolve to the same stored file path. A later upload can overwrite an earlier upload, causing customers or administrators downloading the earlier product to receive the later file instead. Version 0.8.1 patches the issue. Some workarounds are available. Restrict the `servicedownloadable.manage` permission to fully trusted administrators only. As an operational mitigation, ensure downloadable product files use unique filenames before upload. This reduces accidental collisions but does not fully address the underlying issue.

FOSSBilling is a free, open-source billing and client management system. In versions 0.5.3 through 0.7.2, the Guest `serviceapikey/get_info` API endpoint is accessible without authentication. Any caller with a valid API key can retrieve all custom configuration parameters (`custom_*` fields) stored in the key's database record. These custom fields are populated by billing administrators and can contain business-sensitive data such as pricing tiers, feature flags, rate limits, expiry overrides, or access scope data. Version 0.8.0 patches the issue. Some workarounds are available. Administrators can avoid storing sensitive data in `custom_*` API key configuration fields, monitor API logs for suspicious calls to `/api/guest/serviceapikey/get_info`, and/or disable the Serviceapikey module if not in active use.

FOSSBilling is a free, open-source billing and client management system. In versions 0.5.6 through 0.7.2, when the "Require Email Confirmation" setting is enabled, a logged-in client with an unverified email address (`email_approved = 0`) can access all client-area pages (e.g. `/client/balance`, `/client/order/list`, `/client/invoice`) and read real account data, including wallet balances and transaction history. The API-side enforcement correctly restricts unverified clients to only profile-related endpoints, but the page-side enforcement is overly permissive, allowing any request whose path starts with `/client`. Version 0.8.0 contains a fix. No known workarounds that don't involve modifying the source code are available.

FOSSBilling is a free, open-source billing and client management system. Versions 0.6.0 through 0.7.2 have a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the client-facing email history views of FOSSBilling. Email HTML content (`content_html`) is rendered into a JavaScript template literal using the `|raw` filter, bypassing all output escaping. An attacker with admin access can inject malicious JavaScript payloads into email content that execute in the browser of any client who views their email history. Version 0.8.0 contains a fix. Some workarounds are available. Restrict admin account access, audit email content in the database for suspicious payloads, and/or monitor client accounts for unusual activity.

FOSSBilling is a free, open-source billing and client management system. Prior to version 0.8.0, a race condition in the cart checkout flow allows an authenticated client to apply a promo code beyond its configured maximum uses. By sending concurrent checkout requests before any single request completes the usage increment, a client can obtain unlimited discounted or free orders from a single-use or limited-use promo code. Version 0.8.0 patches the issue. Some workarounds are available. Disable promo codes entirely until a patch is available or monitor the `promo` table for `used` values exceeding `maxuses` and manually review affected orders.

FOSSBilling is a free, open-source billing and client management system. Prior to version 0.8.0, an unauthenticated mass assignment vulnerability in the client self-registration endpoint allows any visitor to assign themselves to an arbitrary client group during sign-up. Because client groups can gate promo code eligibility, an attacker may apply group-restricted discount codes and receive unauthorized discounts. Version 0.8.0 contains a patch. As a workaround, administrators can either remove group restrictions from promo codes or disable client self-registration (Settings → Clients → Disable signup).

FOSSBilling is a free, open-source billing and client management system. Versions 0.6.0 through 0.7.2 have a SQL injection vulnerability in the `Massmailer` module filter functionality. An authenticated administrator can supply crafted filter values when updating a mass email message, causing untrusted input to be interpolated directly into SQL in the recipient selection query. Version 0.8.0 patches the issue. Some workarounds are available. Restrict administrator access to trusted users only, disable the `Massmailer` module if it is not required, audit existing records in the `mod_massmailer` table for suspicious filter values, and/or review administrator activity related to `Massmailer` message updates.

FOSSBilling is a free, open-source billing and client management system. In versions 0.5.4 through 0.7.2, the /run-patcher maintenance endpoint in FOSSBilling was accessible without authentication, which allowed unauthenticated remote users to trigger update patch routines that modify configuration files, execute database schema changes, perform filesystem mutations, and clear caches. The /run-patcher endpoint executes privileged maintenance operations - configuration migrations, database patch execution (including ALTER TABLE, DROP TABLE, UPDATE statements), filesystem deletions and renames, and cache clearing - without requiring administrator authentication, CSRF validation, or CLI context. An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger these operations by sending a simple HTTP GET request to /run-patcher, which can be abused for denial-of-service attacks. Certain patches (e.g., batch token regeneration for all admin and client accounts in patch 53, and session invalidation) are disruptive even when re-executed against an already-patched instance. Repeated or concurrent requests may also cause inconsistent database state. This issue has been fixed in version 0.8.0.

FOSSBilling is a billing and client management system that automates invoicing, payments, and communication for online service businesses. Versions 0.6.21 through 0.7.2 are vulnerable to IDOR through the support ticket creation workflow. By manipulating rel_id when rel_type=order, an authenticated client can create a support ticket that references another client's order they do not own. The ticketCreateForClient() method accepted rel_id without verifying order ownership for non-upgrade tasks, allowing clients to link a new ticket to another client's order by crafting the request. No cron task automatically processes cancel/upgrade requests from ticket relations; staff action is required. This affects integrity and confidentiality: staff could be misled into acting on the wrong order (e.g., cancellation or upgrade requests). While there is no client-to-client order data exposure, order IDs may appear in ticket context. This issue has been fixed in version 0.8.0.

FOSSBilling is a free, open-source billing and client management system. Prior to version 0.8.0, the password reset confirmation endpoint `/client/reset-password-confirm/:hash` is handled by a non-API controller and is not covered by FOSSBilling's rate limiter, which only applies to `/api/*` routes. This allows an attacker to probe the endpoint for valid reset tokens without any per-IP request limiting, attempt counting, or lockout mechanism. The endpoint acts as an oracle, returning a distinguishable response for valid versus invalid tokens (HTTP 200 vs HTTP 302 redirect). An attacker can submit unlimited token guesses to the password reset confirmation endpoint with no throttling applied. However, practical exploitability is significantly mitigated by the current token generation, which uses `hash('sha256', random_bytes(32))`, providing 256 bits of entropy. Tokens also expire after 15 minutes and are deleted after successful use. The same architectural gap applies to other controller-served auth routes, including `/staff/email/:hash` (admin password reset confirmation) and `/client/confirm-email/:hash` (email confirmation). Version 0.8.0 fixes the issue. Some workarounds are available. Configure a reverse proxy (e.g., Nginx, Apache, Cloudflare) to apply per-IP rate limiting to the `/client/reset-password-confirm/*` and `/staff/email/*` paths and/or use a WAF rule to limit request rates to these endpoints.
