Description
LibreNMS is a network monitoring system. In versions up to and including 26.4.0, the Proxmox application view is vulnerable to reflected cross-site scripting through the user-supplied instance and vmid GET parameters, which are reflected into the page title without adequate encoding. The parameters are placed into the page title with only strip_tags applied, and the title is then written into an inline document.title assignment through string interpolation, so a single quote terminates the JavaScript string and the remaining input runs as script. An attacker who lures an authenticated user into following a crafted link can execute script in that user's session, enabling actions such as theft of session data. This issue is fixed in version 26.5.0.

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 26.5.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-45694 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
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.
