SCA: security update for librenms/librenms (GHSA-gq96-8w38-hhj2)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 428604

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - LibreNMS is an auto-discovering PHP/MySQL/SNMP based network monitoring which includes support for a wide
 range of network hardware and operating systems. LibreNMS versions 25.6.0 and below contain an
 architectural vulnerability in the ajax_form.php endpoint that permits Remote File Inclusion based on
 user-controlled POST input. The application directly uses the type parameter to dynamically include
 .inc.php files from the trusted path includes/html/forms/, without validation or allowlisting. This
 pattern introduces a latent Remote Code Execution (RCE) vector if an attacker can stage a file in this
 include path — for example, via symlink, development misconfiguration, or chained vulnerabilities. This is
 fixed in version 25.7.0. (CVE-2025-54138)
