CVE-2024-22120: Time Based SQL Injection in Zabbix Server Audit Log

HighCVSS 8.8 · v3.1—Proof of concept Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Plan (action score 58/100)

  • A ready-made attack module is public (Nuclei); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 76.6% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 99.5% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Zabbix Zabbix 6.0.28rc1, 6.4.13rc1, 7.0.0beta1.

Add it to your regular patch cycle. Upgrade to Zabbix Zabbix 6.0.28rc1, 6.4.13rc1, 7.0.0beta1 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Zabbix server can perform command execution for configured scripts. After command is executed, audit entry is added to "Audit Log". Due to "clientip" field is not sanitized, it is possible to injection SQL into "clientip" and exploit time based blind SQL injection.
