CVE-2026-109356: LibreNMS missing authorization in PortsController::purge

CVE-2026-109356 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-10-12

LibreNMS is a network monitoring platform that tracks device and port information for auditing and capacity planning. A missing authorization check in the port purge feature allows read-only user accounts to irreversibly delete port records from the database without having delete permissions, including bulk deletion of all ports across visible devices using the purge=all option.

Technologies: Librenms. Vendors: Librenms.

Technical details

PortsController::purge uses Port::hasAccess() as a visibility scope filter rather than checking for explicit delete capability, allowing authenticated users with only read privileges (view/viewAll) to issue DELETE requests to /ports/purge and physically remove port entries from the database. The vulnerability is amplifiable via the purge=all parameter, which deletes every soft-deleted port on all visible devices. A fix requires an explicit capability check (port.delete) in addition to the visibility scope check.
