Until a fix is available, users should exercise caution when interacting with upgrade/index.php and consider restricting access to this functionality if possible.

Description

CVE-2026-115981 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in phpIPAM versions 1.8.0 through 1.8.3. It involves manipulation of the REQUEST_URI argument in the upgrade/index.php file, allowing remote attackers to execute script code. The vulnerability has a medium severity rating with a CVSS score of 4.8. Public exploit code has been disclosed, but no known active exploitation in the wild is reported. The vendor was notified early about this issue.

Impact

Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the affected web application, potentially leading to session hijacking or other client-side attacks. The impact is limited by the requirement for high privileges and user interaction, and the vulnerability does not affect confidentiality or availability directly.

Summary

This vulnerability affects phpIPAM up to version 1.8.3 and is located in an unspecified functionality within the upgrade/index.php file. By manipulating the REQUEST_URI argument, an attacker can trigger a cross-site scripting condition. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication but requires user interaction. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, user interaction needed, and low impact on confidentiality and integrity. Public exploit code is available, but no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation has been observed.
