CVE-2023-41786Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Database disclosure via unrestricted backup listing

Published Nov 23, 2023 · Updated Oct 15, 2024

Information disclosure in Pandora FMS 700 through 772 allows remote authenticated users to download database backups through the Web Console. The backup-management page lists files and download links without enforcing its intended administrator-only authorization, while Apache permits access to the backup directory. Read-only access is sufficient to obtain database contents, including user, API, agent, and application credentials.
