CVE-2026-24743
Published: 18 February 2026
Summary
CVE-2026-24743 is a medium-severity Cross-site Scripting (CWE-79) vulnerability in Invoiceplane Invoiceplane. Its CVSS base score is 5.7 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique JavaScript (T1059.007); ranked at the 18.6th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and CM-5 (Access Restrictions for Change).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2026-24743 is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability, classified under CWE-79, affecting InvoicePlane version 1.7.0, a self-hosted open-source application for managing invoices, clients, and payments. The issue resides in the Upload Invoice Logo function, which permits the upload of SVG files without adequate sanitization, enabling the injection of malicious scripts that persist and execute in the context of the application.
An attacker with administrator privileges (PR:H) can exploit this vulnerability over the network (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) but requires user interaction (UI:R), as indicated by the CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.7 (C:L/I:H/A:L). Successful exploitation allows the creation of persistent backdoors via stored malicious scripts, unauthorized modification of application data, and full compromise of the application's integrity.
InvoicePlane version 1.7.1 addresses the vulnerability with a patch, as detailed in the project's GitHub commit (93622f2df88a860d89bfee56012cabb2942061d6) and security advisory (GHSA-485m-4725-2428). Security practitioners should upgrade to the patched version and review access controls for administrative functions involving file uploads.

svg files. 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.

Why these techniques?
Stored XSS via unsanitized SVG upload directly enables persistent JavaScript execution (T1059.007) within the web app context and facilitates browser session hijacking through injected scripts (T1185).

Directly enforces validation and sanitization of SVG logo uploads to block malicious script injection at the root cause of this stored XSS flaw.
Requires malicious-code scanning of uploaded files to identify and block persistent XSS payloads before they are stored and served.
Restricts which accounts can perform the Invoice Logo upload function, limiting the set of privileged users able to introduce the malicious SVG.
