Description
LibreNMS versions before 26.8.0 have an authentication bypass vulnerability in the REST API. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to access protected API endpoints by exploiting MySQL type coercion with numeric values instead of string tokens. Successful exploitation can expose device credentials and administrative features, potentially enabling remote code execution via alert templates.
