CVE-2024-42327Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Privilege escalation via unsanitized selectRole query fields

Published Nov 27, 2024 · Updated Dec 4, 2024

SQL injection in the user.get API of affected Zabbix releases allows remote authenticated users to escalate privileges. CUser::addRelatedObjects directly joins attacker-controlled selectRole field names into an SQL SELECT list instead of validating them against allowed role fields. The default User role is sufficient when API access is enabled, exposing database data and administrator sessions across 6.0.0 through 6.0.31, 6.4.0 through 6.4.16, and 7.0.0 through 7.0.1.
