Network-reachable REST API requires only a low-privilege authenticated session; no confidentiality impact; tag deletion causes integrity loss and minor availability disruption.

DescriptionCVE.org

ntopng is a web-based network traffic monitoring application. In versions 6.7.0 through 6.7.260717, two REST v2 endpoints that manage ntopng's tag/badge feature - POST /lua/rest/v2/delete/tag/tag.lua and POST /lua/rest/v2/edit/tag/tag.lua - perform no authorization check at all. Any authenticated user, including a non-administrator ("unprivileged") account, can delete or rename any tag in the system, including tags created by an administrator. Version 6.7.260718 contains a fix.

AnalysisAI

Missing authorization on two REST v2 tag-management endpoints in ntopng 6.7.0-6.7.260717 allows any authenticated low-privilege user to delete or rename tags system-wide, including those created by administrators. The affected endpoints - POST /lua/rest/v2/delete/tag/tag.lua and POST /lua/rest/v2/edit/tag/tag.lua - perform no isAdministrator() check before processing requests. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid ntopng user account of any privilege level - including the lowest non-administrator role. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L is well-calibrated: exploitation requires a valid low-privilege account (PR:L), no special configuration, and is reachable over the network. … 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 Upgrade ntopng to version 6.7.260718 or later, which adds the isAdministrator() guard to both tag-management Lua endpoints, as confirmed by commit 0e41f24b367fb9caf750459da67827326e3289e8. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all systems running ntopng versions 6.7.0-6.7.260717 and enable logging for POST requests to /lua/rest/v2/delete/tag/tag.lua and /lua/rest/v2/edit/tag/tag.lua to detect unauthorized tag modifications. …
