CVE-2026-33742
CWE-79Published: March 26, 2026· Updated: Mar 30, 2026
Official Description
Invoice Ninja is a source-available invoice, quote, project and time-tracking app built with Laravel. Product notes fields in Invoice Ninja v5.13.0 allow raw HTML via Markdown rendering, enabling stored XSS. The Markdown parser output was not sanitized with `purify::clean()` before being included in invoice templates. This is fixed in v5.13.4 by the vendor by adding `purify::clean()` to sanitize Markdown output.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-33742 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-79): Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
