Vulnerability Information

Severity: Medium
Vulnerability Published: 2013-10-02
Patch Published: 2013-10-02
CVE [?]: CVE-2013-5743
CPE [?]: cpe:/a:zabbix:zabbix

Synopsis

The remote web application may be affected by multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Zabbix listening on the remote host is a version prior to 1.8.18rc1 / 2.0.9rc1 / 2.1.7. It is, therefore, potentially affected by multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities. The following API methods and parameters are reportedly affected :

- alert.get parameters : time_from, time_till - event.get parameters : object, source, eventid_from, eventid_till - graphitem.get parameter : type - graph.get parameters : type - graphprototype.get parameter : type - history.get parameters : time_from, time_till - trigger.get parameters : lastChangeSince, lastChangeTill, min_severity - triggerprototype.get parameter : min_severity - usergroup.get parameter : status

Additionally, code used to add objects such as graphs or maps to favorites is reportedly also affected by SQL injection attacks. The 'Dashboard', 'Graphs', 'Maps', 'Latest data', and 'Screens' pages in the 'Monitoring' section are reported to be affected.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the version in the Zabbix login page.

Solution

Update Zabbix to version 1.8.18rc1 / 2.0.9rc1 / 2.1.7 or later.

Public Exploits

Target Network Port(s): 80
Target Asset(s): Services/www
Exploit Available: True (Metasploit Framework, Exploit-DB, D2 Elliot)
Exploit Ease: No exploit is required

Here's the list of publicly known exploits and PoCs for verifying the Zabbix < 1.8.18rc1 / 2.0.9rc1 / 2.1.7 Multiple SQL Injections vulnerability:

Metasploit: exploit/linux/http/zabbix_sqli
[Zabbix 2.0.8 SQL Injection and Remote Code Execution]
Exploit-DB: exploits/unix/webapps/28972.rb
[EDB-28972: Zabbix 2.0.8 - SQL Injection / Remote Code Execution (Metasploit)]
D2 Elliot: zabbix_httpmon.php_sql_injection.html
[Zabbix httpmon.php SQL Injection]

Before running any exploit against any system, make sure you are authorized by the owner of the target system(s) to perform such activity. In any other case, this would be considered as an illegal activity.

WARNING: Beware of using unverified exploits from sources such as GitHub or Exploit-DB. These exploits and PoCs could contain malware. For more information, see how to use exploits safely.
