Description

Zabbix Server and Proxy reuse JavaScript (Duktape) contexts for performance, which can cause data leakage between users. Specifically, non-super administrators may access confidential data from hosts they are not authorized to view. A fix has been released that makes built-in JavaScript objects read-only, but global JavaScript variables remain risky and their use is discouraged.

Technical Analysis

Zabbix Server and Proxy reuse JavaScript (Duktape) contexts in features such as script items, JavaScript reprocessing, and Webhooks to improve performance. This reuse can lead to confidentiality loss by allowing regular (non-super) Zabbix administrators to leak data from hosts they do not have access to. The vendor has released a fix that makes built-in Zabbix JavaScript objects read-only to mitigate this issue. However, the use of global JavaScript variables is still not recommended because their content could be leaked across contexts.

Potential Impact

Confidentiality is impacted as unauthorized data leakage can occur between different Zabbix administrators due to shared JavaScript contexts. Integrity and availability impacts are lower but present as indicated by the CVSS vector. The vulnerability allows a privileged user with regular admin rights to access data beyond their permissions.

Mitigation Recommendations

A fix has been released that makes built-in Zabbix JavaScript objects read-only, mitigating the vulnerability. Users should update to the fixed version as per the vendor's guidance. Additionally, avoid using global JavaScript variables in scripts or preprocessing to prevent potential data leakage. Check the official Zabbix documentation for the latest remediation details.
