AI-suggested
- 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.
- Until patches are applied, restrict access to the report scheduler functionality to trusted and minimal user groups to reduce the risk of exploitation.
- Implement strict input validation and sanitization on any user-supplied paths related to report generation, if customization is possible.
- Monitor file system changes in directories used by Checkmk for report storage to detect unauthorized file creation or modification.
- Employ application-level logging and alerting to track unusual report scheduler activities or access patterns.
- Conduct regular audits of Checkmk configurations and user permissions to ensure least privilege principles are enforced.
- Consider network segmentation and firewall rules to limit exposure of Checkmk interfaces to only necessary internal systems.
- 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.
