Technical details
LibreNMS is vulnerable to a multi-stage OS command injection. An authenticated attacker can first exploit a lack of sanitization in the 'Add Device' hostname field to create a directory containing shell metacharacters via the PollDevice job. Next, the attacker can use the SettingsController to update the 'snmpget' configuration parameter, pointing it to a system binary using a path traversal that includes the malicious directory. Finally, by visiting the 'About' page, the AboutController executes a shell_exec() call using the poisoned 'snmpget' path, resulting in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the web server user. This vulnerability is addressed in version 24.10.0.
