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 · unedited
FOSSBilling 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 confidence

FOSSBilling 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.

MitigationUpgrade 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.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed FOSSBilling version
    Locate 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.
  2. Verify Massmailer module is installed
    Check 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.
  3. Confirm admin panel accessibility
    Attempt 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.
  4. Check for existing admin accounts
    Query 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.
  5. Identify SQL query patterns in Massmailer code
    Examine 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.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade 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.

Recommended fix High confidence

FOSSBilling version 0.8.0

  1. Backup the existing FOSSBilling database and files before upgrading
  2. Download FOSSBilling version 0.8.0 from the official GitHub repository (github.com)
  3. Replace the existing installation files with the 0.8.0 files, preserving any custom configuration
  4. Run any database migration scripts included in version 0.8.0
  5. Verify the Massmailer module is updated and the SQL injection vulnerability is patched
  6. Test the Massmailer filter functionality to ensure it works correctly
  7. Review administrator activity logs for any suspicious Massmailer message updates that may have occurred prior to the patch
Caveat Review the 0.8.0 release notes for any breaking changes or required configuration updates before upgrading
