AI-suggested

  1. Upgrade Checkmk to the latest patched versions as soon as they become available, specifically versions 2.4.0p13, 2.3.0p38, or 2.2.0p46 or later.
  2. Until patches are applied, restrict access to the report scheduler functionality to trusted and minimal user groups to reduce the risk of exploitation.
  3. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on any user-supplied paths related to report generation, if customization is possible.
  4. Monitor file system changes in directories used by Checkmk for report storage to detect unauthorized file creation or modification.
  5. Employ application-level logging and alerting to track unusual report scheduler activities or access patterns.
  6. Conduct regular audits of Checkmk configurations and user permissions to ensure least privilege principles are enforced.
  7. Consider network segmentation and firewall rules to limit exposure of Checkmk interfaces to only necessary internal systems.
  8. Stay informed via Checkmk security advisories and CVE databases for updates or exploit disclosures.

Description

Insufficient escaping in the report scheduler within Checkmk <2.4.0p13, <2.3.0p38, <2.2.0p46 and 2.1.0 (EOL) allows authenticated attackers to define the storage location of report file pairs beyond their intended root directory.
