resetpass.php in openInvoice 0.90 beta and earlier allows remote authenticated users to change the passwords of arbitrary users via a modified uid parameter. NOTE: this can be leveraged with a separate vulnerability in auth.php to modify passwords without authentication.

Security readout for executives and security teams

openInvoice 0.90 beta and earlier reportedly lets a logged-in remote user change other users' passwords by manipulating a user identifier in the password reset flow. The CVE also notes a separate authentication issue could make this possible without logging in. This creates account-takeover risk for any still-running openInvoice deployment. Exposure is likely limited to legacy openInvoice deployments, specifically 0.90 beta and earlier. Internet-facing administrative or invoicing portals would be the main concern. The supplied metadata does not identify current vendor support status, package names, or hosting defaults. Prioritize investigation if openInvoice is still used, especially on public networks. The business risk is unauthorized account takeover in a billing system. If no instance exists, document non-exposure and close with evidence. Mitigation focus: Inventory and decommission any openInvoice 0.90 beta or earlier instances.; Check vendor or maintainer guidance for fixed releases or supported workarounds.; Remove internet exposure until authorization behavior is verified..
