HIGH 7.7

DescriptionCVE.org

In Zabbix 7.4 the cryptographic key used for signing Frontend sessions has been erroneously written to the database seed. Currently the only known exploitation scenario is for deployments that utilize both - SAML authentication and guest users. In such cases the key can be used to forge valid session cookies, potentially leading to unauthorized access. For other Zabbix deployments this does not have a known impact.

AnalysisAI

Session cookie forgery in Zabbix 7.4 is possible because the cryptographic key used to sign Frontend sessions is erroneously written to the database seed, making it readable by anyone with adjacent database access. The vendor-confirmed exploitation path is narrowly scoped: only deployments running both SAML authentication and guest users simultaneously are at known risk, where the extracted key can be used to forge valid session cookies and achieve unauthorized frontend access. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Two non-default configuration conditions must be simultaneously present: (1) SAML authentication must be configured and active in the Zabbix 7.4 Frontend, AND (2) guest user access must be enabled. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.7 with VC:H/VI:H/VA:H reflects the theoretical maximum impact of session forgery, but the real-world risk is substantially lower than this score implies due to compounding prerequisites. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Patch available per vendor advisory - consult https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-28071 for the exact patched release version, which is not independently confirmed from available input data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, audit all Zabbix 7.4 instances to identify those running both SAML authentication and guest users simultaneously; for affected instances, disable guest user access if not operationally required. …
