An issue was discovered in LibreNMS through 1.47. The scripts that handle the graphing options (
html/includes/graphs/common.inc.php
andhtml/includes/graphs/graphs.inc.php
) do not sufficiently validate or encode several fields of user supplied input. Some parameters are filtered withmysqli_real_escape_string
, which is only useful for preventing SQL injection attacks; other parameters are unfiltered. This allows an attacker to inject RRDtool syntax with newline characters via thehtml/graph.php
script. RRDtool syntax is quite versatile and an attacker could leverage this to perform a number of attacks, including disclosing directory structure and filenames, file content, denial of service, or writing arbitrary files.References
