Overview

librenms/librenms is a fully featured network monitoring system that provides a wealth of features and device support.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Authentication in the REST API process. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to protected endpoints by sending numeric values instead of string tokens, exploiting MySQL type coercion to match token hashes. This allows access to sensitive API functionality, including device credentials and administrative features, potentially enabling remote code execution through alert templates.
