CVE-2025-65013
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedLibreNMS is an auto-discovering PHP/MySQL/SNMP based network monitoring tool. Prior to version 25.11.0, a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was identified in the LibreNMS application at the /maps/nodeimage endpoint. The Image Name parameter is reflected in the HTTP response without proper output encoding or sanitization, allowing an attacker to craft a URL that, when visited by a victim, causes arbitrary JavaScript execution in the victim’s browser. This issue has been patched in version 25.11.0.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceA reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in LibreNMS prior to version 25.11.0. The /maps/nodeimage endpoint reflects the Image Name parameter in the HTTP response without proper output encoding, allowing injection of arbitrary JavaScript via crafted URLs.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify LibreNMS installationLocate the LibreNMS installation directory (common paths: /opt/librenms, /var/www/html/librenms, or check your web root). Look for the main index.php or composer.json file.Affected if LibreNMS is not installed on this system
-
Determine installed LibreNMS versionCheck the version file or the composer.json in the LibreNMS directory. Common location: /opt/librenms/composer.json or /opt/librenms/.git/FETCH_HEAD. Compare the version against 25.11.0.Affected if The installed version is lower than 25.11.0 (e.g., 25.10.0, 25.9.0, etc.)
-
Verify application is runningConfirm the LibreNMS web application is accessible. Try accessing the main URL (e.g., http://your-server/librenms/ or https://your-server/). Check if the HTTP service is running.Affected if The LibreNMS web interface is accessible and running
-
Confirm endpoint accessibilityAttempt to access the /maps/nodeimage endpoint. This typically requires authentication, but the vulnerability exists in how the parameter is reflected in the response. Check if the route is registered in the application.Affected if The /maps/nodeimage endpoint exists and processes the Image Name parameter
You are affected if LibreNMS is installed with a version lower than 25.11.0 and the /maps/nodeimage endpoint is accessible in your environment.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped25.11.0
Upgrade to LibreNMS version 25.11.0 or later, which includes proper output encoding for the Image Name parameter.
25.11.0
- Upgrade LibreNMS to version 25.11.0 or later
- Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the LibreNMS version at /about page or via command line: ./lnms version
- Test that the /maps/nodeimage endpoint now properly encodes the Image Name parameter
