AI Analysis

Impact

An authenticated attacker with normal privileges can perform a SQL injection against the address parameter of the /ajax_table.php API endpoint in LibreNMS 1.65. The flaw allows execution of arbitrary SQL statements that can read the entire contents of the application database, exposing configuration data, device inventories, and potentially credential material. The vulnerability is a classic SQL injection (CWE‑89).

Affected Systems

The issue is specific to the LibreNMS 1.65 release. Only deployments running this exact version are affected; later releases such as 1.65.1 contain the fix.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 signals high severity, while an EPSS score of < 1 % and the absence from the CISA KEV catalog indicate a low but non‑negligible likelihood that it might be actively exploited. The vulnerability requires remote authenticated access to the API, so privileged users or compromised accounts can exploit it. Due to the high impact combined with a low exploitation probability, operators should treat it with priority when updating systems.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade LibreNMS to version 1.65.1 or newer, which contains the patch for the injection flaw.
  • Restrict access to the /ajax_table.php endpoint to trusted networks or internal interfaces, minimizing the attack surface for remote authenticated users.
  • Apply least privilege principles to API accounts, disabling or removing low‑privilege users that do not require database access.
