How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 zabbix to version 1:5.0.44+dfsg-1+deb11u1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream zabbix package and not the zabbix package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

An authenticated user can create a hosts group from the configuration with XSS payload, which will be available for other users. When XSS is stored by an authenticated malicious actor and other users try to search for groups during new host creation, the XSS payload will fire and the actor can steal session cookies and perform session hijacking to impersonate users or take over their accounts.
