Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
LibreNMS versions before 26.5.0 are affected by a remote code execution flaw in the AboutController, which runs the configured snmpget binary path through shell_exec() when the /about page is loaded. An attacker needs administrator credentials to change that setting, plus a way to place or point to an executable on the server, after which they could run arbitrary commands with web server privileges. The fix is to upgrade to LibreNMS 26.5.0 or later.
