XSS on the parameters (Replace $DEVICE_ID with your specific $DEVICE_ID value):/device/$DEVICE_ID/edit -> param: display
of Librenms versions 24.9.0, 24.10.0, and 24.10.1 (https://github.com/librenms/librenms) allows remote attackers to inject malicious scripts. When a user views or interacts with the page displaying the data, the malicious script executes immediately, leading to potential unauthorized actions or data exposure.
