CVE-2024-42327
Overview
This vulnerability is a SQL injection (SQLi) flaw located in the CUser class within the addRelatedObjects function of the Zabbix frontend. The flaw arises because the addRelatedObjects function improperly sanitizes input before constructing SQL queries. This function is invoked by the CUser.get API method, which is accessible to any user with API access privileges, including non-admin users with the default User role or other roles granting API access.
Vulnerability Description
A non-admin user account on the Zabbix frontend with the default User role, or with any other role that gives API access can exploit this vulnerability. An SQLi exists in the CUser class in the addRelatedObjects function, this function is being called from the CUser.get function which is available for every user who has API access.
Impact
An attacker with a non-admin account and API access can exploit this SQL injection to execute arbitrary SQL commands within the Zabbix database context. This enables unauthorized data disclosure, modification, or deletion of sensitive monitoring data. The attack requires valid user credentials with API permissions but no elevated privileges beyond that. Given the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H), the vulnerability allows remote exploitation with low attack complexity and no user interaction, potentially leading to full compromise of data confidentiality, integrity, and availability within Zabbix.
Solution
Zabbix has addressed this vulnerability in the update referenced by advisory ZBX-25623, available at https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-25623. Users should upgrade to the patched Zabbix frontend version that includes the fix for the addRelatedObjects function in the CUser class. The vendor recommends applying this update promptly to eliminate the SQL injection vector. No alternative workarounds are specified in the advisory.
