CVE-2026-23925  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-266  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade zabbix/zabbix to version 6.0.41rc1, 7.0.18rc1, 7.4.2rc1 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Privilege Assignment via the configuration.import API. An attacker can create unauthorized hosts by exploiting insufficient access controls when possessing template or host write permissions, even if their role would normally restrict such actions.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by enforcing strict role-based access control, ensuring that low-privilege users are not granted template or host write permissions that could be exploited via the configuration.import API, and regularly auditing user permissions.
