MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated Pandora FMS administrator (version 777 or later) to be lured, while logged in, into visiting an attacker-controlled web page that issues a forged GET request to the event-response deletion function. The limiting factors are significant: the target endpoint accepts state-changing actions via GET and lacks anti-CSRF token validation, the victim must hold administrative privileges, the victim must have an active authenticated session, and the victim must perform user interaction (visit the malicious page) - the attacker needs no credentials of their own but cannot act without this social-engineering step. Impact is bounded to deletion of event responses rather than full administrative takeover. |
| Impact | This is a classic CSRF (CWE-352) with a realistic but constrained risk profile. The vendor-supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:H/VA:L) scores 5.9 (Medium): network-reachable and low-complexity, but gated by two meaningful dampeners - AT:P (a present attack requirement, reflecting the forged-request/timing dependency typical of CSRF) and UI:A (active victim interaction, i.e. an authenticated administrator must be lured to a malicious page). Impact is integrity-focused (VI:H = unauthorized deletion of event responses) with minor availability impact (VA:L) and no confidentiality impact (VC:N) - the attacker destroys data but reads nothing and does not gain a session. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit code are present in the provided data, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. SSVC-style reasoning: exploitation is not automatable (it depends on social-engineering a specific privileged user), technical impact is partial (bounded to event-response deletion, not full system compromise). Net: a legitimate issue worth patching on a normal cycle, not an emergency - it is a medium-CVSS/medium-real-risk finding rather than a high-urgency one. The vector is self-consistent with the description; note that PR:N reflects the attacker's lack of credentials while the exploit still requires an already-authenticated admin victim - these are not contradictory for CSRF. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a web page containing a forged GET request targeting the Pandora FMS event-response deletion endpoint and lures a logged-in Pandora FMS administrator into visiting it (e.g. via a phishing link). The administrator's browser automatically sends the request with their valid session, silently deleting event responses without consent. No public proof-of-concept is identified in the available data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 01, 2026
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) in Pandora FMS 777 and later allows a remote attacker to delete event responses by luring a logged-in administrator to a malicious page that issues a forged GET request to the event-response deletion function. The attacker needs no credentials of their own - the CVSS 4.0 vector carries PR:N with UI:A, and the independent assessment records PR:N/UI:R - but the victim must hold an active administrative session and must perform the interaction of visiting the attacker-controlled page, making this a social-engineering-dependent attack rather than a fully autonomous one. No public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, no EPSS score was supplied, and the vendor maintains a security advisory index at https://pandorafms.com/en/security/common-vulnerabilities-and-exposures/. Impact is bounded to the deletion of event responses (high integrity, low availability per the assessment) rather than full administrative takeover, giving a constrained but genuine risk profile for privileged monitoring workflows.
RemediationAI
The primary fix is to upgrade Pandora FMS to the latest release available from the vendor, confirming against https://pandorafms.com/en/security/common-vulnerabilities-and-exposures/ that the chosen build includes CSRF-token validation for the event-response deletion endpoint; the supplied data does not include an exact patched version number, so the fixed release must be verified with the vendor rather than assumed. Until an upgrade is applied, deploy compensating controls that specifically target the missing token check: configure the reverse proxy or WAF to reject or strip cross-origin GET requests to the event-response deletion route (trade-off: legitimate GET-driven console links may break, so test against normal administrative workflows), and additionally require that requests to that route carry a same-origin Referer/Origin header if the proxy supports it. Restrict administrative access to the Pandora console through a VPN or management-network allow list so attacker-controlled pages cannot reach a logged-in admin session in practice, and instruct administrators to use a dedicated browser profile or container for Pandora FMS work and to log out when finished, which reduces but does not eliminate the window for the forged request. If the application supports it, set session cookies to SameSite=Lax or Strict to blunt cross-site cookie attachment (trade-off: may disrupt SSO or embedded-console integrations), and enable logging/alerting on event-response deletions from the affected endpoint so unauthorized deletions are detectable even if prevention fails. Patching remains the only fix that removes the root cause - the composite of an HTTP GET state change and the absence of an anti-CSRF token.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery): the event-response deletion function exposes a state-changing operation over HTTP GET and does not validate an anti-CSRF token, so a browser holding a valid Pandora FMS administrative session cookie will automatically attach that session to any cross-origin request an attacker can induce the victim to make. Because the action is reachable via GET, it can be triggered by a simple image tag, link, iframe, or scripted navigation on an attacker-controlled page, without needing to craft a cross-origin form POST or defeat a preflight check. The affected CPE is the wildcard cpe:2.3:a:pandora_fms:pandora_fms:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, meaning the product entry is not version-pinned in the feed; the description states the issue affects Pandora FMS from release 777 onwards, so every subsequent build inherits the flaw unless the endpoint was hardened. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VI:H/VA:L) and the independent CVSS 3.1 assessment (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/I:H/A:L) both agree that confidentiality is untouched, integrity of the event-response data is the primary loss, and availability impact is limited to the destroyed records. Pandora FMS is an enterprise monitoring platform where event responses record operator acknowledgement and triage comments, so deletion of those responses can degrade incident audit trails and obscure who acknowledged which alert, even though no code execution or privilege escalation is achieved.
