Stored XSS in InvoicePlane 1.7.0 Invoice Editing Allows Critical Exploits

Publication date: 2026-02-18

Last updated on: 2026-02-20

Assigner: GitHub, Inc.

Description
InvoicePlane is a self-hosted open source application for managing invoices, clients, and payments. A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability occurs in the Edit Invoices functions of InvoicePlane version 1.7.0. When editing invoices, the application does not validate user input at the `invoice_number` parameter. Although administrator privileges are required to exploit it, this is still considered a critical vulnerability as it can cause actions such as unauthorized modification of application data, creation of persistent backdoors through stored malicious scripts, and full compromise of the application's integrity. Version 1.7.1 patches the issue.

Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue found in InvoicePlane version 1.7.0, specifically in the Edit Invoices function. It occurs because the application does not properly validate user input in the invoice_number parameter. An attacker with administrator privileges can exploit this vulnerability by injecting malicious scripts that are stored and executed within the application.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

Exploiting this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized modification of application data, creation of persistent backdoors through stored malicious scripts, and a full compromise of the application's integrity. This means an attacker could manipulate invoices or other sensitive data, maintain long-term access to the system, and potentially disrupt or control the application.
