Until a fix is applied, restrict administrator access and avoid using the vulnerable script execution functionality.

Description

CVE-2024-22116 is a critical vulnerability in Zabbix where an administrator with restricted permissions can exploit the script execution functionality in the Monitoring Hosts section. Due to lack of default escaping for script parameters, this user can execute arbitrary code via the Ping script, potentially compromising the entire infrastructure.
