Last modified

CVE-2026-57863 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Crater Invoice through 6.0.6 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the self-update API that allows authenticated company owners to write arbitrary files outside the intended extraction directory by supplying crafted ZIP archives with ../ sequences to the unzip endpoint. Attackers can exploit unsanitized ZIP entry names passed to PHP's ZipArchive::extractTo() to write arbitrary PHP files into the web-accessible public directory and achieve remote code execution on the server.. EPSS estimates a 0.90% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
