Impact
What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?
It has two related instances that share the same root cause: a user-controlled model field is assigned verbatim to a form field's
help text, which is rendered with Django's |safe filter (render field.html), bypassing auto-escaping.In both cases the script executes in the browser of any user who opens an affected create or edit form, including administrators and superusers. Because the payload runs in the victim's authenticated session, it can lead to actions performed as the victim, session/token theft, and further privilege escalation. Exploitation requires the victim to open an affected form.
Relationship description
A user who holds the add/change permission for Relationships (
extras.add relationship / extras.change relationship) can set a Relationship's description to an HTML/JavaScript payload. That description is used as the help text of the relationship's form field and is rendered on the create/edit page of every object type the relationship applies to.Module Family name
A user who holds the add/change permission for Module Families (
dcim.add modulefamily / dcim.change modulefamily) can put a payload in a Module Family name, which is interpolated into the module family field's help text on the Module "Install module" form for any module bay assigned to that family.Patches
Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?
Fixes are available in Nautobot v2.4.37+ & v3.1.8+
Note: The underlying weakness exists in earlier EOL versions of Nautobot (v1.x). Users on those older EOL versions are highly encouraged to upgrade to a supported version.
Workarounds
Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?
There is no configuration-only fix. To remediate without upgrading:
- Restrict the
extras.add relationship/extras.change relationshipanddcim.add modulefamily/dcim.change modulefamilypermissions to fully trusted administrators only. - Audit existing Relationship description values and Module Family name values for embedded HTML /
<script>content and remove any payloads.
Note that limiting who can open create/edit forms does not fully mitigate the issue, since the payload targets any user (including admins) who opens an affected form.
