Stored XSS via unencoded graph item names
Published Feb 9, 2024 · Updated Nov 3, 2025
Stored cross-site scripting in affected Zabbix frontends allows remote authenticated users to execute script in another user’s browser. The graph item selector inserts the stored Name field into a link without HTML-encoding special characters, allowing event-handler markup to execute. A user with item-creation access must store the payload, and another authenticated user must reopen the graph and click the item name, exposing or modifying data available to that browser session.
