Summary
The unit parameter in Custom OID functionality lacks strip_tags() sanitization while other fields (name, oid, datatype) are sanitized. The unsanitized value is stored in the database and rendered without HTML escaping, allowing Stored XSS.

Impact
- Attack Vector: User with device edit permissions sets malicious Unit value
- Exploitation: XSS payload stored in database, executes for all users viewing device graphs
- Consequences:
- Session hijacking via cookie theft
- Admin account takeover
- Malicious actions on behalf of victims
- Persistent attack affecting all users
- Affected Users: All LibreNMS installations with Custom OID feature
