Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in FOSSBilling up to 0.7.x. It has been classified as problematic. Affected is an unknown functionality of the component IPN Call Handler. The manipulation of the argument mc_gross with an unknown input leads to a source code vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-18. This is going to have an impact on integrity. CVE summarizes:

FOSSBilling is a free, open-source billing and client management system. Prior to version 0.8.0, the PayPalEmail payment adapter accepts PayPal IPN callbacks and credits the IPN-supplied amount (`mc_gross`) to the client's balance without validating it against the invoice total. Combined with a $0.05 floating-point epsilon tolerance in the invoice credit-payment logic, this allows a client to underpay an invoice by up to $0.04 and still have it marked as fully paid. Version 0.8.0 patches the issue. There is no effective workaround without modifying the source code. Merchants using the PayPalEmail adapter should monitor IPN transactions for amounts that do not match their corresponding invoice totals, and manually review and refund suspicious payments.

The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2026-43928 since 05/04/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely.
