GHSA-86rg-8hc8-v82p
LibreNMS is vulnerable to Reflected-XSS in `report_this` function
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
Reflected-XSS in report_this function in librenms/includes/functions.php
Details
Recently, it was discovered that the report_this function had improper filtering (htmlentities function was incorrectly used in a href environment), which caused the project_issues parameter to trigger an XSS vulnerability.
The Vulnerable Sink: https://github.com/librenms/librenms/blob/master/includes/functions.php#L444
PoC
GET
project_issues=javascript:alert(document.cookie)
Impact
XSS vulnerabilities allow attackers to execute malicious scripts in users' browsers, enabling unauthorized access to sensitive data, session hijacking, or malware distribution.
Suggestion
It is recommended to filter dangerous protocols, e.g. javascript:/file:.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🐘Packagist | librenms/librenms | all versions | 25.7.0 |
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 25.7.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-86rg-8hc8-v82p 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-86rg-8hc8-v82p 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-86rg-8hc8-v82p. 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-86rg-8hc8-v82p in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-86rg-8hc8-v82p across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
