Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the impacted component are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 26 Jul 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2024-41354, organizations should implement the following specific measures: 1) Immediately restrict access to the /app/admin/widgets/edit.php endpoint to trusted administrators only, using network segmentation and access control lists to minimize exposure. 2) Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious input patterns targeting this endpoint, focusing on script injection attempts. 3) Enforce strict Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit the execution of unauthorized scripts in the browser context. 4) Educate users and administrators about the risks of clicking untrusted links or opening suspicious content while authenticated to phpipam. 5) Monitor phpipam logs and network traffic for unusual activity indicative of attempted exploitation. 6) If feasible, temporarily disable or limit the widget editing functionality until an official patch is released. 7) Engage with the phpipam community or vendor to obtain or contribute to a security patch addressing input validation and output encoding in the affected script. 8) Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on web application vulnerabilities to detect similar issues proactively. These targeted actions go beyond generic advice by focusing on access control, detection, user awareness, and interim risk reduction while awaiting a fix.

Description

phpipam 1.6 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS) via /app/admin/widgets/edit.php

Impact

The impact of CVE-2024-41354 is significant for organizations relying on phpipam 1.6 for IP address management and network infrastructure oversight. Successful exploitation can lead to the compromise of user sessions, allowing attackers to impersonate legitimate users and perform unauthorized actions within the phpipam application. This can result in unauthorized disclosure of sensitive network configuration data, manipulation of IP address assignments, or disruption of network management operations. The vulnerability affects confidentiality by exposing session tokens or sensitive data, integrity by enabling unauthorized changes, and availability by potentially causing application instability or denial of service. Given phpipam's role in managing critical network resources, exploitation could cascade into broader network security issues. Although no known exploits are currently reported, the ease of exploitation and high severity score suggest attackers may develop exploits soon. Organizations worldwide that depend on phpipam for network management face increased risk, particularly those with large or complex network environments where the impact of compromised IP management data is amplified.
