Description
StoredXSS-LibreNMS-MiscSection
Description:
Stored XSS on the parameter: `ajax_form.php` -> param: state
Request:
```http
POST /ajax_form.php HTTP/1.1
Host:
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
X-CSRF-TOKEN:
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8
Cookie:
type=override-config&device_id=1&attrib=override_icmp_disable&state=">
```
of Librenms version 24.10.1 (https://github.com/librenms/librenms) allows remote attackers to inject malicious scripts. When a user views or interacts with the page displaying the data, the malicious script executes immediately, leading to potential unauthorized actions or data exposure.
The vulnerability in the line:
```php
$attrib_val = get_dev_attrib($device, $name);
```
within the `dynamic_override_config` function arises because the value of `$attrib_val is` retrieved from untrusted data without any sanitization or encoding (at Line 778).
When `dynamic_override_config` is called, the unescaped `$attrib_val` is injected directly into the HTML (at misc.inc.php).
Proof of Concept:
1. Add a new device through the LibreNMS interface.
2. Edit the newly created device and select the Misc section.
3. In any of the following fields: "Override default ssh port", "Override default telnet port", "Override default http port" or "Unix agent port", enter the payload: `">`.
4. Save the changes.
5. Observe that when the page loads, the XSS payload executes, triggering a popup that displays the current cookies.
Impact:
Execution of Malicious Code
