nautobot has reflected Cross-site Scripting potential in all object list views

  • Disclosed: 01.05.2024
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 15:17

Impact

It was discovered that due to improper handling and escaping of user-provided query parameters, a maliciously crafted Nautobot URL could potentially be used to execute a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (Reflected XSS) attack against users. All filterable object-list views in Nautobot are vulnerable, including:

  • /dcim/location-types/
