Overview

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in Netbox version 3.5.1, specifically in the Create Power Panels (/dcim/power-panels/) function. The vulnerability was disclosed in May 2023 and affects the Name field input validation in the Power Panels feature (NVD, Debian Tracker).

Technical details

The vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via a crafted payload injected into the Name field of the Power Panels creation form. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.4 (Medium) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N (NVD).

Impact

If successfully exploited, this vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts in the context of other users' browsers who view the malicious power panel entry. This could lead to theft of sensitive information, session hijacking, or other client-side attacks (GitHub Issue).

Mitigation and workarounds

Users should upgrade to a patched version of Netbox. Until an upgrade is possible, administrators should carefully monitor and validate input in the Power Panels name field (Debian Tracker).
