Description
Summary
/port-groups name Stored Cross-Site Scripting
- HTTP POST
- Request-URI(s): "/port-groups"
- Vulnerable parameter(s): "name"
- Attacker must be authenticated with "admin" privileges.
- 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.
- After the port group is created, the entry is displayed along with some relevant buttons like Edit and Delete.
Details
The vulnerability exists as the name of the port group is not sanitized of HTML/JavaScript-related characters or strings. When the delete button is rendered, the following template is used to render the page:
resources/views/port-group/index.blade.php:
@extends('layouts.librenmsv1')
@section('title', __('Port Groups'))
@section('content')
<div class="container-fluid">
<x-panel id="manage-port-groups-panel">
// [...Truncated...]
@foreach($port_groups as $port_group)
// [...Truncated...]
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger btn-
sm" title="{{ __('delete Port Group') }}" aria-label="{{ __('Delete') }}"
onclick="delete_pg(this, '{{ $port_group-
>name }}', '{{ route('port-groups.destroy', $port_group->id) }}')"> // using the
port's name in the Delete button functionality without sanitizing for XSS related
characters/strings
As the device's name is not sanitized of HTML/JavaScript-related characters or strings, this can result in stored cross-site scripting.
PoC

- Select Ports > Manage Port Groups
- Select New Port Group
- Input

- Select the Delete Icon for the newly created Port Group
- Select OK
- The JavaScript payload is not sanitized and an HTTP request will be sent to the attacker controlled server, leaking the user's cookies.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
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.
Fix
Update librenms/librenms to 26.2.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-26992 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-26992 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to CVE-2026-26992. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2026-26992 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds CVE-2026-26992 across Packagist dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
