Authenticated code execution via unsanitized libvirt settings
Published Aug 26, 2026 · Updated Aug 26, 2026
OS command injection in LibreNMS 23.10.0 through 26.4.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute code through virtualization settings. VminfoLibvirt.php concatenates Libvirt Username and Protocols values directly into ssh and virsh commands passed to exec without sanitization. Administrator access and a subsequent poller discovery job are required; injected commands run as the poller account and can compromise the host.
