DescriptionCVE.org

ntopng is a web-based network traffic monitoring application. Prior to 6.7.260717, POST /lua/rest/v2/edit/system/edit_blacklist.lua in scripts/lua/rest/v2/edit/system/edit_blacklist.lua lacks an administrator check and calls lists_utils.editList for any authenticated user. The list_name, list_enabled, url, and list_update parameters allow a non-admin user to redirect threat-intelligence downloads to attacker-controlled content, disable blocklists, or prevent scheduled updates. The changes are persisted through Redis and reloaded without a lower-level authorization guard, undermining the integrity and availability of ntopng's threat-intelligence monitoring. This issue is fixed in version 6.7.260717.

AnalysisAI

Any authenticated but non-administrator user on ntopng deployments prior to 6.7.260717 can tamper with threat-intelligence blocklists through the REST endpoint POST /lua/rest/v2/edit/system/edit_blacklist.lua, which performed no administrator check before invoking lists_utils.editList. By manipulating the list_name, list_enabled, url, and list_update parameters, a low-privileged account can repoint blocklist downloads to attacker-controlled content, disable existing blocklists, or suppress scheduled updates, with the changes persisted in Redis and reloaded without a lower-level authorization guard. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires a valid but non-administrator authenticated ntopng user account (PR:L) able to reach the web REST API; the vulnerable endpoint POST /lua/rest/v2/edit/system/edit_blacklist.lua performed no administrator check before calling lists_utils.editList. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H = 8.1 High) is internally consistent with the description and the confirming commit: a network-reachable REST endpoint reachable by any low-privileged authenticated user (PR:L), no interaction, with high integrity and availability impact but zero confidentiality impact - appropriate for a missing-authorization (CWE-862) flaw that tampers with security controls rather than leaking data. … 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 Vendor-released patch: upgrade ntopng to 6.7.260717 or later, which introduces the missing isAdministrator() gate in scripts/lua/rest/v2/edit/system/edit_blacklist.lua and returns not_granted to non-administrative callers (see https://github.com/ntop/ntopng/security/advisories/GHSA-ffg5-889g-f5q8 and the fix commits https://github.com/ntop/ntopng/commit/1d0627d802c59130c82478a4eb7f14014064eae5 and https://github.com/ntop/ntopng/commit/669589fe208fc932fe40a840e0de8e4d9df6023f). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory every ntopng instance and identify those running a version prior to 6.7.260717, enumerate all non-administrator accounts on each deployment, and block or remove direct access to the REST endpoint POST /lua/rest/v2/edit/system/edit_blacklist.lua for non-administrator users (via reverse-proxy rules, network segmentation, or by suspending non-admin accounts until remediation), while reviewing the Redis-persisted blocklist configuration for unauthorized list_name, url, list_enabled, or list_update values and rotating credentials for any low-privileged accounts. …
