FreeBSD : uptime-kuma -- unauthenticated administrator account creation (7830ba05-0215-40b0-9d9b-e4e4829d9b3c)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 376992

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 7830ba05-0215-40b0-9d9b-e4e4829d9b3c advisory.

 CVE-2026-119552: Uptime Kuma through 2.5.8 contains a race condition in the Socket.IO first-run setup handler that allows unauthenticated attackers to create an additional administrator account. Attackers can send concurrent setup requests during the bcrypt hashing window to bypass the empty user table check, then modify monitors, API keys, and enable disableAuth.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
