CVE-2026-27604 is a critical authorization bypass in FOSSBilling affecting versions starting in 0.5.4 and before 0.8.0. The flaw is in API role validation, specifically the isRoleAllowed() logic in src/modules/Api/Controller/Client.php, where an exception for an invalid API role was created but not thrown due to a missing throw statement. FOSSBilling routes API requests as /api/:role/:module/:method and exposes roles including guest, client, admin, and system. In vulnerable versions, the system role resolves to the privileged cron admin identity (ROLE_CRON). Because invalid role handling failed open, unauthenticated remote attackers could access privileged /api/system/* endpoints and invoke administrative API methods without valid credentials, an authenticated session, or a CSRF token.
