Within Zabbix, users have the ability to directly modify memory pointers in the JavaScript engine.

Setting SMS media allows to set GSM modem file. Later this file is used as Linux device. But due everything is a file for Linux, it is possible to set another file, e.g. log file and zabbix_server will try to communicate with it as modem. As a result, log file will be broken with AT commands and small part for log file content will be leaked to UI.

Zabbix allows to configure SMS notifications. AT command injection occurs on "Zabbix Server" because there is no validation of "Number" field on Web nor on Zabbix server side. Attacker can run test of SMS providing specially crafted phone number and execute additional AT commands on modem.

A non-admin user can change or remove important features within the Zabbix Agent application, thus impacting the integrity and availability of the application.

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.

The Zabbix Agent 2 item key smart.disk.get does not sanitize its parameters before passing them to a shell command resulting possible vulnerability for remote code execution.

An attacker who has the privilege to configure Zabbix items can use function icmpping() with additional malicious command inside it to execute arbitrary code on the current Zabbix server.

The zabbix/src/libs/zbxjson module is vulnerable to a buffer overflow when parsing JSON files via zbx_json_open.

A stored XSS has been found in the Zabbix web application in the Maps element if a URL field is set with spaces before URL.

Specially crafted string can cause a buffer overrun in the JSON parser library leading to a crash of the Zabbix Server or a Zabbix Proxy.

JavaScript pre-processing can be used by the attacker to gain access to the file system (read-only access on behalf of user "zabbix") on the Zabbix Server or Zabbix Proxy, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data.

Arbitrary file read vulnerability exists in Zabbix Web Service Report Generation, which listens on the port 10053. The service does not have proper validation for URL parameters before reading the files.

A Firewall Rule which allows all incoming TCP connections to all programs from any source and to all ports is created in Windows Firewall after Zabbix agent installation (MSI)

Zabbix Frontend provides a feature that allows admins to maintain the installation and ensure that only certain IP addresses can access it. In this way, any user will not be able to access the Zabbix Frontend while it is being maintained and possible sensitive data will be prevented from being disclosed. An attacker can bypass this protection and access the instance using IP address not listed in the defined range.

An unauthenticated user can create a link with reflected Javascript code inside the backurl parameter and send it to other authenticated users in order to create a fake account with predefined login, password and role in Zabbix Frontend.

An issue was discovered in Grafana through 7.3.4, when integrated with Zabbix. The Zabbix password can be found in the api_jsonrpc.php HTML source code. When the user logs in and allows the user to register, one can right click to view the source code and use Ctrl-F to search for password in api_jsonrpc.php to discover the Zabbix account password and URL address.

An authenticated user can create a link with reflected XSS payload for actions’ pages, and send it to other users. Malicious code has access to all the same objects as the rest of the web page and can make arbitrary modifications to the contents of the page being displayed to a victim. This attack can be implemented with the help of social engineering and expiration of a number of factors - an attacker should have authorized access to the Zabbix Frontend and allowed network connection between a malicious server and victim’s computer, understand attacked infrastructure, be recognized by the victim as a trustee and use trusted communication channel.

Zabbix 4.0 LTS, 4.2, 4.4, and 5.0 LTS is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE). Any user with the "Zabbix Admin" role is able to run custom shell script on the application server in the context of the application user.

After the initial setup process, some steps of setup.php file are reachable not only by super-administrators, but by unauthenticated users as well. Malicious actor can pass step checks and potentially change the configuration of Zabbix Frontend.

During Zabbix installation from RPM, DAC_OVERRIDE SELinux capability is in use to access PID files in [/var/run/zabbix] folder. In this case, Zabbix Proxy or Server processes can bypass file read, write and execute permissions check on the file system level
