Description
Summary
A Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the "metric" parameter of the "/wireless" and "/health" endpoints allows attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript. This vulnerability results in the execution of malicious code when a user accesses the page with a malicious "metric" parameter, potentially compromising their session and allowing unauthorized actions.
Details
The "/wireless" and "/health" endpoints are vulnerable to reflected XSS in the "metric" parameter. An attacker can inject the following XSS payload into the "metric" parameter:
```constructor'constructor')();```
When the page is loaded with this malicious parameter, the script executes immediately. The vulnerability occurs due to improper sanitization of the "metric" parameter in the following sinks:
https://github.com/librenms/librenms/blob/7f2ae971c4a565b0d7345fa78b4211409f96800a/includes/html/pages/wireless.inc.php#L82
https://github.com/librenms/librenms/blob/7f2ae971c4a565b0d7345fa78b4211409f96800a/includes/html/pages/health.inc.php#L114
PoC
1. Inject the following payload into the "metric" parameter of the "/wireless" or "/health" endpoint:
```constructor'constructor')();```
2. Access the page with the injected payload.
3. Observe that the injected script executes upon loading the page.
Example URL: ```http:///wireless/metric=%3Cscript%3Econstructor'constructor')();%3C!----%3E```
Example Request:
```http
GET /wireless/metric=%3Cscript%3Econstructor%27constructor%27)();%3C!----%3E HTTP/1.1
Host:
Cookie:
```
Impact
This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of a user’s session by crafting a malicious URL. The attack could lead to session hijacking, unauthorized actions, or further exploitation by injecting malicious scripts.
