CVE-2026-26281 | InvoicePlane has Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Issue in Sumex Invoice View

Exp

InvoicePlane is a self-hosted open source application for managing invoices, clients, and payments. A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Sumex invoice view allows an authenticated user with client and invoice management privileges to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browser of any user viewing the invoice. This can lead to session hijacking, data theft, or other malicious actions on behalf of the victim user. Version 1.7.1 patches the issue.

4.4 3.1 MEDIUM
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:H)
Even with access, the exploit needs extra luck, timing, or a fussy environment to actually work.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.
User interaction (UI:R)
A real person has to do something—click, install, enable—otherwise it doesn’t land.
Scope (S:C)
Breaking this can reach past the original component and bite other resources—bigger blast radius.
Confidentiality (C:L)
Some sensitive info could get out, but not a total data dump.
Integrity (I:L)
Attackers could change some data, but it’s limited—not everything goes.
Availability (A:N)
Service keeps running; no real outage angle.
