StoredXSS-LibreNMS-Display Name 2

Description:

XSS on the parameters (Replace $DEVICEID with your specific $DEVICEID value):/device/$DEVICEID/edit -> param: display

of Librenms versions 24.11.0 (https://github.com/librenms/librenms) allows remote attackers to inject malicious scripts. When a user views or interacts with the page displaying the data, the malicious script executes immediately, leading to potential unauthorized actions or data exposure.

Proof of Concept: 1. Add a new device through the LibreNMS interface. 2. Edit the newly created device by going to the "Device Settings" section. 3. In the "Display Name" field, enter the following payload: "><img src onerror="alert(document.cookie)">. !image 4. Save the changes. 5. The XSS payload is triggered when navigating to the path /device/$DEVICEID/logs and hovering over a type containing a tag (such as Core 1 in the image). !image
