{"id":"CVE-2026-40495","summary":"FOSSBilling version exposed via asset cache buster","details":"FOSSBilling is a free, open-source billing and client management system. Versions prior to 0.8.0 leak the exact system version through asset cache buster parameters in HTML output, bypassing the `hide_version_public` security setting. The FOSSBilling version is embedded in the query string of every `\u003cscript\u003e` and `\u003clink\u003e` tag generated by the `script_tag` and `stylesheet_tag` Twig filters. This information is visible to all visitors — including unauthenticated guests — on every page, regardless of whether the `hide_version_public` setting is enabled.  The `X-FOSSBilling-Version` HTTP header and the `guest.system.version` API endpoint correctly honour the `hide_version_public` setting, but the asset cache buster parameters were overlooked. Knowledge of the exact FOSSBilling version makes it significantly easier for malicious actors to identify known vulnerabilities applicable to a given installation and craft targeted exploits. While not a direct vulnerability on its own, it undermines the intended protection offered by the `hide_version_public` setting and facilitates reconnaissance. Version 0.8.0 contains a patch. There is no practical workaround that removes the version from asset URLs without modifying source code.","aliases":["GHSA-gqcp-g7rm-p5v6"],"modified":"2026-08-04T11:48:43.724872719Z","published":"2026-06-03T19:38:28.746Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-200"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/40xxx/CVE-2026-40495.json","cna_assigner":"GitHub_M"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/FOSSBilling/FOSSBilling/releases/tag/0.8.0"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/40xxx/CVE-2026-40495.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/FOSSBilling/FOSSBilling/security/advisories/GHSA-gqcp-g7rm-p5v6"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-40495"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/fossbilling/fossbilling","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3bd35f5b2921d8a26a403142ae0408f95e6463cc"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.8.0"}],"source":"AFFECTED_FIELD"}}],"versions":["0.7.2","0.7.1","0.7.0","0.6.22","0.6.21","0.6.20","0.6.19","0.6.18","0.6.17","0.6.16","0.6.15","0.6.14","0.6.13","0.6.12","0.6.11","0.6.10","0.6.9","0.6.8","0.6.7","0.6.6","0.6.5","0.6.4","0.6.3","0.6.2","0.6.1","0.6.0","0.5.5","0.5.4","0.5.3","0.5.2","0.5.1","0.5.0","0.4.3","0.4.2","0.4.1","0.4.0","0.3.0","0.2.10","0.2.9","0.2.8","0.2.7","0.2.6","0.2.5","0.2.4","0.2.3","0.2.2","0.2.1","0.2.0","0.1.1","0.1.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-40495.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.8.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
