CVE-2026-40495

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 <script> and <link> 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.
