Zabbix 6.0.x < 6.0.41 / 7.0.x < 7.0.18 / 7.4.x < 7.4.2 Unauthorized Object Creation (ZBX-27567)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 301859

Synopsis

A web application running on the remote host is affected by an authorization bypass vulnerability.

Description

The version of Zabbix installed on the remote host is affected by an authorization bypass vulnerability. An authenticated low-privilege user (User role) possessing template and host write permissions can exploit the configuration.import API to create unauthorized objects, despite the User role typically lacking authority to create or modify templates and hosts.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Zabbix version 6.0.41, 7.0.18, 7.4.2 or later.
