Attack profile from CVSS 4.0 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-204.
Summary
Zabbix Zabbix from 6.0.0 through 6.0.47, from 7.0.0 through 7.0.28 and from 7.4.0 through 7.4.12 is affected. The host search filters on fields that are not displayed, including stored IPMI and PSK credentials, which creates an observable response discrepancy (CWE-204). A user with read access can guess a credential and check the search result to see whether the guess was right, which lets them uncover it.
