Stored XSS via unsanitized product-note Markdown
Published Mar 26, 2026 · Updated Mar 26, 2026
Stored XSS in Invoice Ninja before 5.13.4 allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript via crafted product notes. The invoice template path renders Markdown from a product's notes field as raw HTML without applying purify::clean() to the parser output. Any authenticated user who can create products can plant the payload, but execution requires another user to view an invoice containing that product, enabling session theft or data access in that viewer's context.
