Exploitation Conditions

Requires an authenticated Pandora FMS user (typically an administrator or operator with elevated privileges) to interact with an attacker-controlled web page while maintaining an active session with the vulnerable Pandora FMS instance. The victim must use a browser that transmits session cookies cross-origin (default behavior in browsers without SameSite=Strict enforcement). Limiting factors: user interaction is mandatory (UI:P in CVSS vector) - automated mass exploitation is not feasible; attackers need knowledge of the target's Pandora FMS endpoints and functionality to craft effective forged requests; exploitation window is constrained by session timeout durations configured in the target environment. Network accessibility (AV:N) means attacks work against internet-exposed or intranet-deployed instances, but PR:N indicates no attacker authentication to Pandora FMS itself is required - victim's credentials are hijacked through the CSRF mechanism.

Impact

Real-world risk is moderate-high for organizations with active Pandora FMS deployments. The CVSS 7.1 score reflects genuine impact: high integrity compromise (VI:H) permits unauthorized configuration changes, user creation, or monitoring policy modifications, while limited confidentiality impact (VC:L) suggests some data exposure during exploitation. Attack complexity is low (AC:L) with no privileges required (PR:N), but mandatory user interaction (UI:P) creates an exploitability barrier - attackers must socially engineer authenticated administrators to visit malicious sites during active sessions. The CVSS vector specifies no scope change (S:N), limiting damage to the vulnerable application context. Critically, no EPSS score is available to quantify real-world exploitation probability, and CISA KEV absence suggests no confirmed mass exploitation campaigns. However, CSRF vulnerabilities targeting administrative interfaces historically attract opportunistic attackers when targeting-specific organizations. The 'U:Amber' supplemental metric indicates broader ecosystem risk if Pandora FMS instances manage critical infrastructure monitoring. Organizations must verify whether affected versions 777-800 align with their deployments; versions outside this range are unaffected per available data.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker identifies a Pandora FMS administrator through LinkedIn reconnaissance or phishing intelligence gathering. They craft a malicious webpage containing hidden HTML forms that auto-submit POST requests to known Pandora FMS administrative endpoints (e.g., user creation, alert policy modification). The attacker delivers this page via spear-phishing email with a pretext like 'Q1 Security Report' or embeds it in a compromised industry forum frequented by IT professionals. When the victim clicks the link while authenticated to their Pandora FMS console in another browser tab, the malicious page executes cross-origin requests using the victim's session cookies, creating backdoor admin accounts or disabling critical monitoring alerts without the victim's awareness.

AnalysisAIv1 – May 12, 2026

Cross-Site Request Forgery in Pandora FMS versions 777 through 800 enables attackers to execute unauthorized administrative actions through victim interaction with malicious web pages. The network-accessible attack requires no authentication but depends on user interaction (CVSS AV:N/PR:N/UI:P), allowing high integrity impact (VI:H) with limited confidentiality exposure (VC:L). No active exploitation confirmed (CISA KEV not listed), EPSS data not available for assessment. Vendor Pandora FMS has acknowledged the vulnerability with public disclosure.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to Pandora FMS version 801 or later if available, as versions 777-800 are confirmed vulnerable and the version numbering suggests subsequent releases address this issue; verify patch status directly with the vendor advisory at https://pandorafms.com/en/security/common-vulnerabilities-and-exposures/. If immediate patching is not feasible, implement compensating controls: configure web application firewalls to validate Referer and Origin headers for administrative endpoints, rejecting requests from external domains (trade-off: may break legitimate cross-origin integrations); enable HTTP Strict-Transport-Security and deploy SameSite=Strict cookie attributes for session cookies to prevent cross-site transmission (trade-off: breaks functionality if administrators access Pandora FMS from bookmarks on different domains); restrict administrative interface access to dedicated management VLANs or VPN-only access, reducing exposure to CSRF payloads delivered via internet-sourced pages (trade-off: operational overhead for remote administration). Monitor authentication logs for unusual administrative actions coinciding with external network activity.

Technical ContextAI · show details

This vulnerability stems from insufficient CSRF protections (CWE-352) in Pandora FMS, an open-source network monitoring platform. CSRF attacks exploit the trust a web application has in authenticated user browsers by forcing victims to submit state-changing requests without their knowledge. The affected cpe:2.3:a:pandora_fms:pandora_fms applies to versions 777-800, indicating a sustained weakness across multiple releases. Pandora FMS uses PHP-based session management for administrative interfaces; without proper anti-CSRF tokens or SameSite cookie attributes, authenticated admin sessions become vulnerable to forged requests originating from attacker-controlled domains. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack delivery (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L), meaning exploitation requires only standard web techniques like HTML forms or JavaScript within attacker-hosted pages.

DescriptionCVE.org

Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability allows an attacker to perform unauthorized actions via crafted web page. This issue affects Pandora FMS: from 777 through 800

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Pandora FMS versions 777-800 contain a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability that allows attackers to execute unauthorized administrative actions when users interact with attacker-controlled web content. This exposes organizations running affected Pandora FMS instances to administrative account compromise and system reconfiguration without requiring valid credentials, creating direct risk to monitoring infrastructure integrity.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict Pandora FMS administrative interface access via network segmentation or VPN-only access; (2) enforce SameSite=Strict cookie policies if supported by your version; (3) implement CSRF tokens validation at reverse proxy or WAF layer; (4) monitor administrative action logs for anomalous bulk changes; (5) require multi-factor authentication for administrative accounts if available in your version.
