DescriptionCVE.org

Nezha Monitoring is a self-hostable, lightweight, servers and websites monitoring and O&M tool. From version 2.0.14 to before version 2.1.0, PATCH /server/{id} accepts and persists nonexistent ddns_profiles IDs for a member-owned server. If another user later creates a DDNS profile with one of those IDs, the DDNS worker resolves the stored ID and dispatches an update using the other user's DDNS profile configuration in the context of the attacker's server. This issue has been patched in version 2.1.0.

AnalysisAI

Incorrect authorization in Nezha Monitoring's DDNS profile subsystem allows an authenticated low-privilege member to pre-populate their server record with nonexistent DDNS profile IDs, then hijack any future victim-owned DDNS profile whose auto-assigned ID collides with a pre-stored value. Affected versions span 2.0.14 through pre-2.1.0 of the self-hosted nezhahq/nezha platform. When the collision occurs, the DDNS worker dispatches DNS updates on behalf of the attacker's server using the victim's DDNS provider credentials and configuration, achieving cross-tenant DNS manipulation and disrupting the victim's legitimate DDNS service. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; vendor-released patch available in version 2.1.0.

Technical ContextAI

Nezha Monitoring (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:nezhahq:nezha:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a self-hostable Go-based server monitoring and operations tool featuring a DDNS subsystem that periodically resolves stored profile IDs and dispatches DNS update requests to external providers such as Cloudflare or DNSPod. The PATCH /server/{id} REST endpoint accepts a ddns_profiles array without validating that supplied IDs refer to existing, user-accessible profiles before persisting them - a CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) failure where the authorization check is absent at the data-binding stage rather than enforced at resolution time. Because profile IDs are likely sequential integers assigned by the ORM at creation, an attacker can stake out future IDs speculatively. When a legitimate user later creates a DDNS profile that receives one of those pre-stored IDs, the DDNS worker's ID-based lookup resolves to the victim's profile object, crossing user trust boundaries - a cross-tenant scope change reflected in the CVSS S:C metric.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: version 2.1.0. Operators should upgrade Nezha Monitoring to 2.1.0 or later; the vendor advisory at https://github.com/nezhahq/nezha/security/advisories/GHSA-39g2-8x68-pmx8 confirms this release resolves the authorization defect. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, restrict the PATCH /server/{id} endpoint at the reverse proxy layer to prevent member-role users from submitting arbitrary ddns_profiles IDs - note this will block legitimate server configuration updates for those users. Alternatively, temporarily disabling the DDNS worker process prevents cross-profile dispatch, at the cost of losing all DDNS update functionality for all users. Operators may also audit existing server records for ddns_profiles values that reference nonexistent profile IDs, which would indicate pre-staging by an attacker. Single-user Nezha deployments with no additional member accounts are not exposed and require only a planned upgrade.
