AI-suggested
Upgrade ntopng to version 6.7.260717 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Until upgrading, restrict access to the vulnerable endpoints to trusted administrators only and consider disabling the vulnerable vulnerability-scan endpoints if possible. Note that the vulnerability can be exploited via GET requests without CSRF protection, so additional mitigations such as web application firewall rules blocking suspicious scan_ports parameters may help. However, the primary mitigation is to apply the official fix in version 6.7.260717.
Description
ntopng versions prior to 6.7.260717 contain a vulnerability in certain vulnerability-scan endpoints that allows authenticated non-admin users to execute arbitrary operating system commands. This occurs because the scan_ports parameter is passed without proper administrator checks and allows shell metacharacters, leading to command injection via nmap execution. The flaw can also be exploited through a logged-in user's browser due to insufficient CSRF protection on GET requests. The issue is fixed in version 6.7.260717.
