FOSSBilling 0.5.4-0.7.x - Unauthenticated System API Role Authorization Bypass

id: CVE-2026-27604

info:
  name: FOSSBilling 0.5.4-0.7.x - Unauthenticated System API Role Authorization Bypass
  author: str4k3r
  severity: critical
  description: |
    FOSSBilling versions 0.5.4 through 0.7.x contain an authorization bypass in API role handling. The internal system role is accepted from the URL, resolves to the cron-admin identity, and reaches privileged system API methods without authentication, a session, or a CSRF token. Version 0.8.0 rejects the system route role.
  impact: |
    An unauthenticated remote attacker can invoke privileged FOSSBilling system API methods and may access or modify administrator-managed data.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade FOSSBilling to 0.8.0 or later, or block external access to /api/system/*.
