CVE-2024-36465: SQL injection in Zabbix API
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Plan (action score 46/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 39.8% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 98.6% of all records.
- Someone on the same network segment 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 7.0.8rc2, 7.2.2rc1.
Add it to your regular patch cycle. Upgrade to Zabbix Zabbix 7.0.8rc2, 7.2.2rc1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
A low privilege (regular) Zabbix user with API access can use SQL injection vulnerability in include/classes/api/CApiService.php to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the groupBy parameter.

Affected versions
NVD version ranges (for catalog products). Add the product to your stack with a version and matching uses these.
- zabbix zabbix7.0.0 and later · up to 7.0.7 inclusive
- zabbix zabbix7.2.0 and later · before 7.2.2
- zabbix zabbix7.0.8
