Authenticated Livestatus command injection via unsanitized service description
Published Apr 10, 2026 · Updated Apr 10, 2026
Livestatus injection in Checkmk before 2.5.0b4, before 2.4.0p26, and before 2.3.0p47 allows remote authenticated users to inject commands. The prediction graph page interpolates a user-supplied service description into Livestatus queries without properly neutralizing query delimiters. Authenticated access to that page is required; a crafted service name injects arbitrary Livestatus commands processed by the site.
