CVE-2026-33742 | Invoice Ninja has Stored XSS via Markdown HTML Injection in Product Notes

Exp

Invoice Ninja is a source-available invoice, quote, project and time-tracking app built with Laravel. Product notes fields in Invoice Ninja v5.13.0 allow raw HTML via Markdown rendering, enabling stored XSS. The Markdown parser output was not sanitized with `purify::clean()` before being included in invoice templates. This is fixed in v5.13.4 by the vendor by adding `purify::clean()` to sanitize Markdown output.

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.
