SCA: security update for librenms/librenms (GHSA-c9fv-cgmm-2wg7)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 446060

Description

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

- LibreNMS is a network monitoring system. In versions from 21.6.0 up to 26.5.0, the Signal alert transport
is vulnerable to command injection because the signal-cli path and the Recipient field of an alert
transport entry are insufficiently escaped before being passed to an exec call. An authenticated
administrator can craft a transport entry whose Recipient contains shell metacharacters and whose path
points to the bundled composer_wrapper.php script, which itself passes attacker-controlled input to
further unsafe exec calls. By chaining these calls, the administrator can execute arbitrary operating-
system commands on the LibreNMS host. This issue is fixed in version 26.5.0. (CVE-2026-55182)

Solution

Update the librenms/librenms library and its related packages to version 26.5.0 or later.
