Description
LibreNMS is a network monitoring system. In versions up to and including 26.4.0, the Proxmox application view is vulnerable to reflected cross-site scripting through the user-supplied instance and vmid GET parameters, which are reflected into the page title without adequate encoding. The parameters are placed into the page title with only strip_tags applied, and the title is then written into an inline document.title assignment through string interpolation, so a single quote terminates the JavaScript string and the remaining input runs as script. An attacker who lures an authenticated user into following a crafted link can execute script in that user's session, enabling actions such as theft of session data. This issue is fixed in version 26.5.0.

Impact

LibreNMS, a network monitoring system, is vulnerable to reflected cross‑site scripting through the instance and vmid GET parameters in the Proxmox application view. The parameters are placed into the page title using only strip_tags before string interpolation, allowing a malicious input containing a single quote to terminate the JavaScript string and inject arbitrary script. An attacker who lures an authenticated user to a crafted link can execute JavaScript in that user’s session, enabling theft of session data and other in‑browser attacks.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects all releases of LibreNMS up to and including version 26.4.0. The affected product is LibreNMS from the librenms vendor. The issue was fixed in version 26.5.0.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.4 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, which suggests that no large‑scale exploitation has been reported yet. Attackers must socially engineer an authenticated user to click a specially crafted link containing malicious instance or vmid values. Successful exploitation would give the attacker the ability to run JavaScript within the victim’s browser context, potentially allowing session hijacking or unauthorized actions performed under the victim’s account.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to LibreNMS 26.5.0 or later, which properly sanitizes the instance and vmid parameters.
  • Restrict access to the Proxmox application view to trusted, authenticated users or remove the endpoint entirely if an upgrade is delayed.
  • Implement a content‑security policy that disallows inline scripts or removes unsafe characters from the instance and vmid parameters before rendering.
