CVE-2026-33734
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedFOSSBilling is a free, open-source billing and client management system. Versions 0.6.0 through 0.7.2 have a SQL injection vulnerability in the `Massmailer` module filter functionality. An authenticated administrator can supply crafted filter values when updating a mass email message, causing untrusted input to be interpolated directly into SQL in the recipient selection query. Version 0.8.0 patches the issue. Some workarounds are available. Restrict administrator access to trusted users only, disable the `Massmailer` module if it is not required, audit existing records in the `mod_massmailer` table for suspicious filter values, and/or review administrator activity related to `Massmailer` message updates.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceFOSSBilling versions 0.6.0 through 0.7.2 contain a SQL injection vulnerability in the Massmailer module where authenticated administrator-supplied filter values are directly interpolated into SQL queries for recipient selection, allowing arbitrary SQL execution.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed FOSSBilling versionLocate the version file, typically at /includes/version.php or check the admin panel footer for the version number. The version may also be in a composer.json or package.json file in the web root.Affected if The installed version falls within the range 0.6.0 to 0.7.2 inclusive.
-
Verify Massmailer module is installedCheck if the Massmailer module directory exists, typically in /modules/Massmailer/ or /src/Modules/Massmailer/ within the FOSSBilling installation directory.Affected if The Massmailer module is present in the installation.
-
Confirm admin panel accessibilityAttempt to access the admin login page at /admin/index.php or /admin/ (adjust path if non-standard). Check whether the admin interface is reachable over the network.Affected if The admin panel is accessible without immediate authentication barriers blocking all access.
-
Check for existing admin accountsQuery the database users table (often named admin or user) or examine the admin user list through the admin panel if accessible. Look for accounts with admin-level privileges.Affected if At least one active administrator account exists in the system.
-
Identify SQL query patterns in Massmailer codeExamine the Massmailer module controller files, looking for direct SQL query construction without prepared statements. Search for patterns like $db->query() or direct string concatenation involving filter parameters.Affected if The code contains direct SQL interpolation of filter values without parameter binding.
The environment is affected if FOSSBilling version 0.6.0 through 0.7.2 is installed, the Massmailer module is present, and an authenticated administrator can access the admin panel to trigger the SQL injection via filter values.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade to version 0.8.0 which patches the vulnerability, and implement workarounds including restricting admin access, disabling the Massmailer module if unused, and auditing existing records.
FOSSBilling version 0.8.0
- Backup the existing FOSSBilling database and files before upgrading
- Download FOSSBilling version 0.8.0 from the official GitHub repository (github.com)
- Replace the existing installation files with the 0.8.0 files, preserving any custom configuration
- Run any database migration scripts included in version 0.8.0
- Verify the Massmailer module is updated and the SQL injection vulnerability is patched
- Test the Massmailer filter functionality to ensure it works correctly
- Review administrator activity logs for any suspicious Massmailer message updates that may have occurred prior to the patch
