CVE-2026-119275 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 7.0 (high) and affects Akaunting; no fixed version is listed yet.

## Summary

Akaunting 3.3.0 has a stored cross-site scripting flaw in its XLSX invoice-import feature: an attacker with a Manager account can import an invoice whose number contains HTML, and it runs in another user's browser when that user opens the linked recurring invoice. The attack is reached remotely over the network, but it requires the attacker to be logged in with Manager privileges and a victim to open the affected recurring invoice.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Who should check

Teams running Akaunting 3.3.0 that let users import invoices from XLSX workbooks and use recurring invoices.

Source: https://fluidattacks.com/advisories/soda ("Akaunting 3.3.0 contains a stored XSS vulnerability in the XLSX invoice-import workflow.")

## Affected

- Akaunting: 3.3.0

## Description

Akaunting 3.3.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the XLSX invoice-import workflow. An authenticated Manager can import a child invoice whose invoice number contains HTML and is linked to a recurring invoice. When a victim opens that recurring invoice, Akaunting raw-renders the stored child number in an anchor, causing attacker-controlled markup to execute in the victim's browser.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Akaunting, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, run the stack.check operation (execute) on the cve.now MCP server (https://mcp.cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.

## Check your systems with an agent

```text
Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-119275 (Akaunting 3.3.0 - Stored XSS through imported invoice numbers), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

What cve.now has for CVE-2026-119275 (entry last updated 2026-11-12):
Affected:
- Akaunting Akaunting: versions 3.3.0
Fixed versions: none listed yet.
Conditions (all must be true for the bug to be hit):
- Akaunting 3.3.0 (source: https://fluidattacks.com/advisories/soda)
- An imported ordinary invoice is linked to a recurring invoice as its child (source: https://fluidattacks.com/advisories/soda)
- A victim opens the affected recurring invoice detail page (source: https://fluidattacks.com/advisories/soda)
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
Attacker needs: network access, high-privilege login, a user action.
Workaround: Restrict invoice-import permission to trusted administrators, inspect existing document numbers for markup, and avoid opening recurring invoices with children imported from untrusted workbooks. (source: https://fluidattacks.com/advisories/soda)
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-119275 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-119275 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.

Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:

- https://github.com/akaunting/akaunting/blob/3.3.0/resources/views/components/documents/show/children.blade.php
Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing.

Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action.

## FAQ

### Is CVE-2026-119275 being exploited?

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.

Source: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-119275

### What does this mean?

A document number in an imported XLSX invoice can contain markup that is inserted unescaped into the child link of a recurring invoice. When an authenticated victim opens that recurring invoice detail page, attacker-controlled JavaScript runs in their Akaunting session and can read data exposed to the browser and submit same-origin actions the victim is authorized to perform.

Source: https://fluidattacks.com/advisories/soda

### Which versions are affected by CVE-2026-119275?

Akaunting: version 3.3.0.

Source: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-119275

### Am I affected, and how do I check?

The advisory names Akaunting 3.3.0 and an ordinary invoice imported through the XLSX invoice-import workflow and linked to a recurring invoice as its child. Check whether the installed Akaunting version is 3.3.0; no other versions are named in the checked facts.

Source: https://fluidattacks.com/advisories/soda

### How do I fix CVE-2026-119275?

The checked facts name no fixed version or vendor patch ids. The advisory's remedy is to escape document_number when constructing the child link and to avoid passing a prebuilt HTML string to a raw translation sink.

Source: https://fluidattacks.com/advisories/soda

### What if there's no patch?

Restrict invoice-import permission to trusted administrators, inspect existing document numbers for markup, and avoid opening recurring invoices with children imported from untrusted workbooks.
