CVE-2024-22120Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Database disclosure via unsanitized audit-log client IP

Published May 17, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Time-based blind SQL injection in affected Zabbix Server releases allows remote authenticated users to read database values via script execution. The affected branches are 6.0.0 through 6.0.27, 6.4.0 through 6.4.12, and 7.0.0alpha1 through 7.0.0beta1; zbx_auditlog_global_script interpolates the attacker-controlled clientip field directly into an auditlog INSERT. Reachability requires a logged-in user with access to at least one host and a configured script, and extracted session data enables Administrator impersonation.
