MITRE ATT&CK

2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

The /service/inventory.php endpoint must be network-reachable from the attacker's position; no authentication or API key is required to submit data to this endpoint, as it is designed for use by unauthenticated FOG client agents on managed hosts. A standard FOG deployment with no hardening is sufficient. Administrator interaction is required: the stored XSS payload executes only when a FOG administrator browses the Host Management Inventory page in their browser after the payload has been injected (UI:R). No non-default configuration is needed. Exploitation is constrained by the need for an administrator to visit the inventory page subsequent to payload injection - an attacker who can write to the endpoint but cannot induce or wait for admin page access will not achieve execution in the admin context.

Impact

The CVSS 8.7 score reflects genuine real-world risk: the attack vector is network-accessible (AV:N), complexity is low (AC:L), and the scope changes to the admin session (S:C) with high confidentiality and integrity impact. Notably, the assigned CVSS vector includes PR:L (low privileges required), but the CVE description explicitly characterizes /service/inventory.php as an 'unauthenticated' endpoint - this discrepancy suggests PR:L may be a scoring error, and the correct value appears to be PR:N, which would raise the effective score. Security teams should verify this against the vendor advisory at GHSA-2r7m-6mqf-5cc4. EPSS at 0.20% (10th percentile) indicates low current automated exploitation activity, and the absence of a CISA KEV listing confirms no confirmed active exploitation at time of analysis. No public exploit code has been identified. However, the low technical barrier - a straightforward POST to an unauthenticated endpoint with no special tooling required - means exploitation is replicable by moderately skilled attackers. The dependency on administrator page-view (UI:R) is the primary limiting factor in real-world risk.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with network access to the FOG server sends a crafted HTTP POST request to /service/inventory.php, injecting a JavaScript payload into a static inventory field such as a hostname, hardware descriptor, or MAC address field - no authentication is required. When a FOG administrator next opens the Host Management Inventory page in their browser, the stored payload executes in the admin session, enabling session cookie theft, unauthorized administrative actions such as modifying imaging tasks, or lateral movement to internal resources reachable from the admin's browser context.

AnalysisAIv2 – Aug 07, 2026

Stored XSS in FOG Project's unauthenticated inventory endpoint allows network-accessible attackers to inject persistent malicious scripts that execute in any administrator's browser session. Affecting fogproject versions prior to 1.5.10.1832 (stable) and 1.6.0-beta.2313 (beta), the flaw chains an unsanitized write path at /service/inventory.php with unencoded HTML rendering on the Host Management Inventory page, producing a scope-changing XSS condition with high confidentiality and integrity impact on the admin session. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the unauthenticated write vector combined with high-privilege execution context makes this a high-priority patch despite a low EPSS score of 0.20%.

Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
v1 Jul 21, 2026 - 21:04 CVSS 7.3

Stored cross-site scripting in FOG Project (open-source imaging/inventory suite) before 1.5.10.1832 and 1.6.0-beta.2313 lets remote attackers persist malicious script via the unauthenticated /service/inventory.php endpoint, which is rendered unencoded on the Host Management Inventory page and executes in any administrator's browser. Because the injection point requires no authentication and the payload runs in a privileged admin session, an attacker can hijack administrator actions and effectively take over host management. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS/KEV data was not provided; the vendor-assigned CVSS is 7.3 (High).

RemediationAI

Upgrade to FOG Project version 1.5.10.1832 (stable branch) or 1.6.0-beta.2313 (beta branch) or later, as documented in the vendor advisory at https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/security/advisories/GHSA-2r7m-6mqf-5cc4. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, restrict network access to /service/inventory.php at the web server or perimeter firewall level, limiting it to only the IP ranges of known managed FOG client endpoints - this eliminates the unauthenticated write path that enables payload injection. Be aware that blocking /service/inventory.php will prevent FOG client agents from submitting hardware inventory updates, so coordinate this restriction with maintenance windows. Additionally, administrators should refrain from browsing the Host Management Inventory page until patched, as previously injected payloads remain stored in the database and will execute on page load. Patch versions confirmed by vendor advisory; no workaround independently verified as fully equivalent to patching.

Technical ContextAI · show details

FOG Project (cpe:2.3:a:fogproject:fogproject:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a PHP-based open-source system for mass computer imaging, cloning, and hardware inventory management, commonly deployed in enterprise IT and educational environments. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation - Stored XSS) and arises from two compounding weaknesses in the PHP codebase: the /service/inventory.php endpoint, which FOG client agents use to report hardware inventory data, accepts client-supplied field values without any input sanitization and persists them directly to the database; and the Host Management Inventory administrative page renders those stored values into HTML without output encoding. This classic stored XSS pattern means attacker-controlled data written via the unauthenticated inventory service is later reflected and executed in the privileged administrative browser context whenever an administrator reviews host inventory.

DescriptionNVD

FOG is a free open-source cloning/imaging/rescue suite/inventory management system. Prior to versions 1.5.10.1832 and 1.6.0-beta.2313, the unauthenticated inventory service endpoint (/service/inventory.php) persists client-supplied values without sanitization, and the Host Management Inventory page renders all static inventory fields into HTML without output encoding, allowing stored cross-site scripting that executes in any administrator's browser. Versions 1.5.10.1832 and 1.6.0-beta.2313 fix the issue.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

FOG Project in versions prior to 1.5.10.1832 contains a vulnerability allowing attackers to compromise administrator accounts through the inventory system, directly threatening IT infrastructure management operations. Organizations relying on FOG Project for deployment and asset tracking face operational risk, as attackers with admin access could manipulate infrastructure and access sensitive system configurations.
