Description

Summary

XSS attacks occurs when application is not sanitising inputs properly and rendering the code from user input to browser which could allow an attacker to execute malicious javascript code.

PoC

  1. Login
  2. Create a device group in /device-groups
  3. Name it as "><img src=x onerror=alert(1);>
  4. save it
  5. Go to services and create a service template and add that device group into that and save it
  6. After that go back to device groups and delete that device, you will see XSS payload popup in message <img width="1043" alt="Screenshot 2023-11-08 at 9 15 56 PM" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/31764504/281489434-9beaebd6-b9ce-4098-a8e0-d67b185062b5.png">

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for librenms/librenms, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update librenms/librenms to 23.11.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2023-48295 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Escape or sanitise the affected output on the server side rather than relying on client-side filtering, and add a Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution so injected markup cannot run even if it reaches the page.
