MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Discovery, Collection The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to be an authenticated LibreNMS user (PR:L) who already has authorized access to at least one NFSen-enabled device, and the target deployment must have the NFSen/NetFlow integration enabled so that nfsen_channel_common.inc.php and the graph.php channel parameter are reachable. The attack is network-remote with low complexity and no user interaction, but it is bounded by these prerequisites: it yields only read access to RRD graph data (traffic/NetFlow) of other devices, grants no write/integrity or availability impact, and is irrelevant to single-tenant installs where the authenticated user is already entitled to all devices. Installations without NFSen enabled are not exposed through this code path. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity information-disclosure flaw, not a high-priority emergency. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) with a 5.3 score indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring low privileges and no user interaction, but impact is limited to confidentiality (VC:L) with no integrity or availability effect - the attacker reads RRD traffic/NetFlow graph data outside their authorized scope, a horizontal authorization bypass rather than code execution or full data exfiltration. The PR:L requirement is the key risk limiter: the attacker must already be an authenticated LibreNMS user with access to at least one NFSen-enabled device, so this is a privilege-boundary/multi-tenancy issue rather than an unauthenticated breach. No CISA KEV listing and no public proof-of-concept were provided, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation; EPSS was not supplied. Note the input provides only a CVSS 4.0 vector and no SSVC decision data - exploitation-status, automatable, and technical-impact SSVC fields are absent and cannot be cross-referenced. Overall: real but low-urgency, most relevant to shared/multi-user LibreNMS deployments where tenant isolation matters. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated LibreNMS user who is authorized to view only one NFSen-enabled device crafts a request to graph.php, injecting '../' sequences into the channel parameter handled by nfsen_channel_common.inc.php. The traversed path causes the application to read RRD files belonging to devices outside the user's authorized scope, letting them view traffic and NetFlow graphs for unauthorized hosts. No public proof-of-concept was provided in the source data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 12, 2026
Path traversal in LibreNMS's nfsen_channel_common.inc.php allows an authenticated user who already has authorized access to at least one NFSen-enabled device to read RRD traffic and NetFlow graph data belonging to devices outside their permitted scope by injecting ../ sequences into the channel parameter supplied to graph.php. The flaw affects LibreNMS releases prior to 26.9.0 and is rated moderate (CVSS 4.0 base 5.3; assessed CVSS 3.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N), because it requires a valid low-privileged account plus an NFSen-enabled deployment and yields only read access with no integrity or availability impact. No public exploit code identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed under confirmed actively exploited (CISA KEV); single-tenant installations where the authenticated user is already entitled to every device gain nothing from the technique.
RemediationAI
Upgrade LibreNMS to version 26.9.0 or later, which is the fix threshold indicated by the advisory ('LibreNMS before 26.9.0'); vendor-released patch: LibreNMS 26.9.0, with details at https://github.com/librenms/librenms/security/advisories/GHSA-j3qf-h24w-9f42 and the VulnCheck advisory at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/librenms-before-26.9.0-path-traversal-via-nfsen-channel-parameter. If immediate upgrade is not possible, the most effective compensating control is to disable the NFSen/NetFlow integration (or remove access to graph.php channel/NFSen graph endpoints), accepting that this removes legitimate NetFlow visualization functionality for all users; this fully closes the code path because the vulnerable include is unreachable without NFSen enabled. As a secondary measure, tighten device-group and role assignments so that no account is granted access to any NFSen-enabled device unless it genuinely needs NetFlow visibility, and audit accounts that hold such access - the attack is bounded by the prerequisite of already having authorized access to at least one NFSen-enabled device, so shrinking that set directly shrinks the attack surface. Additionally, monitor LibreNMS web logs for graph.php requests containing encoded or literal ../ sequences in the channel parameter, treating such requests as attempted exploitation. Note that network-level filtering and generic defense-in-depth advice do not address this flaw, because the request is an authenticated, well-formed HTTP call to a legitimate endpoint.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is a classic CWE-22 improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory, occurring in the PHP include nfsen_channel_common.inc.php within LibreNMS's NFSen/NetFlow integration. NFSen builds its traffic and flow graphs from RRD (Round Robin Database) files produced by RRDtool, and LibreNMS constructs filesystem paths to those RRD files from the user-supplied channel parameter before rendering them via graph.php. When the parameter is not canonicalized or validated against an allow-list of channels, an attacker can substitute ../ sequences to escape the intended NFSen RRD directory and cause the application to read RRD files belonging to other devices or tenants. Because RRD lookups are read-only graph operations, the impact class is confidentiality-only: disclosure of traffic volume and NetFlow metadata that reveals topology, peer relationships, and traffic patterns. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:librenms:librenms:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* with an unspecified version confirms that all pre-fix builds of the project are in scope, and the code path is only reachable when the NFSen integration is configured and enabled, which narrows the exposed population considerably.

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
LibreNMS before 26.9.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in nfsen_channel_common.inc.php that allows authenticated users to read unauthorized RRD data by injecting ../ sequences into the channel parameter. Attackers with access to one NFSen-enabled device can request graph.php with a traversed channel value to view traffic and NetFlow graphs of devices outside their authorized scope.
