CVE-2024-51092: LibreNMS before 24.10.0 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via OS command injection involving AboutController.php's index()…
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Plan (action score 40/100)
- A ready-made attack module is public (Metasploit); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
- Because a ready-made attack tool exists, priority is at least “Plan”.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 7.1% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 94.3% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: librenms/librenms (Packagist) 24.10.0.
Add it to your regular patch cycle. Upgrade to librenms/librenms (Packagist) 24.10.0 or later.
