Impact

LibreNMS, before version 26.3.1, contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw in legacy PHP templates that output data from SNMP and syslog without escaping. An attacker who can control a monitored network device can inject arbitrary JavaScript into SNMP interface descriptions or syslog program fields; the injected script runs in a browser when an authenticated user views the affected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or data theft.

Affected Systems

The affected product is LibreNMS, with all releases prior to version 26.3.1 being vulnerable. The product is supplied by the vendor librenms, as identified by the associated CNA.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.1, indicating significant severity. No EPSS score is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector requires the attacker to control a monitored network device to supply malicious SNMP or syslog data; successful exploitation also requires an authenticated user to view the vulnerable pages. Because the flaw can be triggered by simply inserting malicious text into device descriptions or syslog fields, the barrier to exploit remains low for an attacker who can influence these inputs.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update LibreNMS to version 26.3.1 or newer to apply the vendor patch addressing the XSS issue.
  • If an update cannot be performed immediately, restrict SNMP access to trusted devices and sanitize or remove interface descriptions that could contain malicious script content before rendering them in web pages.
  • Apply a Content Security Policy in the web application to mitigate the impact of any remaining XSS payloads by restricting executable scripts from untrusted sources.
