CVE-2026-24746
Published: 18 February 2026
Summary
CVE-2026-24746 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 5.3th 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 SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2026-24746 is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in InvoicePlane version 1.7.0, a self-hosted open source application for managing invoices, clients, and payments. The issue resides in the Edit Quotes function, where the application fails to validate user input in the quote_number parameter, allowing malicious scripts to be stored and executed. This CWE-79 flaw has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.7 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:L).
An attacker with administrator privileges can exploit this vulnerability by injecting malicious payloads into the quote_number field during quote editing. Exploitation requires user interaction, such as an administrator viewing or interacting with the affected quote, which triggers the stored script. Successful attacks can lead to unauthorized modification of application data, creation of persistent backdoors via stored malicious scripts, 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 (https://github.com/InvoicePlane/InvoicePlane/commit/93622f2df88a860d89bfee56012cabb2942061d6) and security advisory (https://github.com/InvoicePlane/InvoicePlane/security/advisories/GHSA-73x8-gr6v-vjvj). Security practitioners should upgrade to the patched version to mitigate the risk.

input at the quote_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.

Why these techniques?
Stored XSS directly enables client-side JavaScript execution (T1059.007) in victim browsers; facilitates session hijacking via script injection (T1185); and supports stored data manipulation (T1565.001) given the high integrity impact and persistent script storage in quotes.

Directly requires validation and sanitization of all user-supplied inputs such as quote_number to block stored XSS payloads.
Mandates prompt application of the vendor patch (v1.7.1) that corrects the missing input validation in the Edit Quotes function.
Restricts the number of accounts permitted to edit quotes, thereby reducing the population that can introduce malicious quote_number values.
