CVE-2026-115981 Details
Description
A security vulnerability has been detected in phpIPAM up to 1.8.3. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file upgrade/index.php. Such manipulation of the argument REQUEST_URI leads to cross site scripting. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in phpIPAM versions through 1.8.3. The issue arises in the upgrade/index.php file, where the REQUEST_URI parameter is manipulated and rendered directly into the HTML response without proper sanitization or encoding. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely, allowing attackers to execute JavaScript in the context of the victim's browser session, potentially leading to session hijacking or unauthorized actions on behalf of the user.
The vulnerability can be addressed by modifying the upgrade/index.php file to include the missing functions/functions.php file, which defines the escape_input function. This adjustment ensures that the input is properly sanitized before being outputted, similar to the fix implemented in the install/index.php file.
