GHSA-62q7-qj6g-gvr7

CRITICAL

GHSA-62q7-qj6g-gvr7 is a critical-severity (CVSS 9.8) OS Command Injection vulnerability in librenms/librenms. 7 public exploit references exist, so weaponization risk is real. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-62q7-qj6g-gvr7 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Description

LibreNMS 1.46 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands by using the $_POST['community'] parameter to html/pages/addhost.inc.php during creation of a new device, and then making a /ajax_output.php?id=capture&format=text&type=snmpwalk&hostname=localhost request that triggers html/includes/output/capture.inc.php command mishandling.

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. 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.

  2. Remediation status

    No patched version of librenms/librenms has shipped for GHSA-62q7-qj6g-gvr7 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.

  3. Mitigate without a patch

    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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-62q7-qj6g-gvr7 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-62q7-qj6g-gvr7. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
