A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in phpipam/phpipam version 1.5.2. The vulnerability occurs in the 'Device Management' section under 'Administration' where an attacker can inject malicious scripts into the 'Name' and 'Description' fields when adding a new device type. This can lead to data theft, account compromise, distribution of malware, website defacement, and phishing attacks. The issue is fixed in version 1.7.0.
phpIPAM version 1.5.1 contains a vulnerability where an attacker can bypass the IP block mechanism to brute force passwords for users by using the 'X-Forwarded-For' header. The issue lies in the 'get_user_ip()' function in 'class.Common.php' at lines 1044 and 1045, where the presence of the 'X-Forwarded-For' header is checked and used instead of 'REMOTE_ADDR'. This vulnerability allows attackers to perform brute force attacks on user accounts, including the admin account. The issue is fixed in version 1.7.0.
