Cross-site Scripting in OpenNMS Horizon

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 25, 2021 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated May 1, 2025

Package

maven org.opennms:opennms (Maven)

Affected versions

>= 1.0.0, < 27.1.1

Patched versions

27.1.1

Description

In OpenNMS Horizon, versions opennms-1-0-stable through opennms-27.1.1; OpenNMS Meridian, versions meridian-foundation-2015.1.0-1 through meridian-foundation-2019.1.18-1; meridian-foundation-2020.1.0-1 through meridian-foundation-2020.1.6-1 are vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting since there is no validation on the input being sent to the name parameter in noticeWizard endpoint. Due to this flaw an authenticated attacker could inject arbitrary script and trick other admin users into downloading malicious files.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
