Description
InvoiceShelf is an open-source web & mobile app that helps track expenses, payments and create professional invoices and estimates. Prior to version 2.4.1, in InvoiceShelf's multi-company installations, any user who is an Owner of one company can read and overwrite any user account in any other company on the same installation. `GET/PUT /api/v1/users/{user}` resolves the target `User` by global primary key, and `UserPolicy` checks only that the requester owns their own header-company — it never verifies that the target user belongs to that company. This allows cross-tenant disclosure of user data and full account takeover (email/password overwrite + company re-assignment). Version 2.4.1 fixes the issue.

AI Analysis

Impact

InvoiceShelf, an expense tracking and invoicing platform, contains a critical IDOR flaw in its multi‑company installations. The API endpoint GET/PUT /api/v1/users/{user} fails to verify that the target user belongs to the requester's company, allowing a company Owner to read and overwrite any user account in any other company on the same installation. The vulnerability enables full account takeover, including email/password overwrite and reassignment of the victim to a different company. The weakness is a classic information disclosure and privilege escalation failure, classified as CWE‑639.

Affected Systems

All installations of InvoiceShelf older than version 2.4.1 are vulnerable. The software is deployed in open‑source web and mobile environments that support multiple tenant companies. The issue is present only when a user holds an "Owner" role for one company while also having access to the shared installation.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.7 indicates a high severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the lack of a proposal or mitigation does not diminish the risk. The attack can be carried out remotely by an authenticated user who has Owner rights in any company on the installation, and the exploit requires only standard API calls with the owner’s credentials. Because the flaw is an IDOR, it can be triggered without special privileges beyond the legitimate Owner role, implying a low technical barrier to exploitation and a wide threat surface within organizations that host multiple tenants on a single InvoiceShelf instance.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade InvoiceShelf to version 2.4.1 or later, which removes the IDOR by validating tenant membership before any read or write operation.
  • Restrict the use of the Owner role to trusted users by enforcing least privilege principles and reviewing role assignments regularly.
  • Implement network segmentation or firewall rules to limit API access to trusted networks, reducing the risk of cross‑tenant exploitation if a vulnerable instance remains in operation.
