{"id":"CVE-2026-40495","aliases":["EUVD-2026-34175","GHSA-gqcp-g7rm-p5v6"],"status":"published","title":"FOSSBilling version exposed via asset cache buster","description":"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.","severity":{"version":"4.0","score":6.9,"vector":"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","level":"medium","assessor":"cna","from":"cve"},"epss":{"day":"2026-11-09","score":0.00279,"percentile":0.20458,"model":"v2026.06.15"},"facts":{"in_kev":false,"known_exploited":false,"public_exploit":false,"fix_available":false},"cwes":["CWE-200"],"published":"2026-06-03T19:38:28Z","modified":"2026-10-28T02:31:00Z","products":[{"vendor":"fossbilling","product":"fossbilling"}],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/FOSSBilling/FOSSBilling/security/advisories/GHSA-gqcp-g7rm-p5v6","tags":["x_refsource_CONFIRM","advisory"]},{"url":"https://github.com/FOSSBilling/FOSSBilling/releases/tag/0.8.0","tags":["x_refsource_MISC","web"]},{"url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/40xxx/CVE-2026-40495.json","tags":["advisory"]},{"url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-40495","tags":["advisory"]}],"sources":{"cve":[{"id":"CVE-2026-40495","title":"FOSSBilling version exposed via asset cache buster","description":"FOSSBilling is a free, open-source billing and client management system.
