Authenticated non-admin over the network (PR:L, AV:N, AC:L) reads a config backup; direct impact is confidentiality of credentials only, so I:N/A:N - account takeover is a downstream consequence.

DescriptionCVE.org

ntopng is a web-based network traffic monitoring application. Prior to 6.7.260718, scripts/lua/rest/v2/get/system/configurations/list_available_backups.lua and scripts/lua/rest/v2/get/system/configurations/download_backup.lua allow any authenticated non-admin user to list and download system-configuration backups without an administrator check. The download path reaches backup_config.export_backup, and prefs_dump_utils.build_prefs_dump_table includes the ntopng.user.* Redis key space in the backup. A downloaded backup can therefore disclose password hashes for local users and, when configured, API tokens, TOTP secrets, and WebAuthn credential data, enabling account compromise through usable or recoverable credentials. This issue is fixed in version 6.7.260718.

AnalysisAI

Authenticated non-administrator users of ntopng prior to 6.7.260718 can list and download complete system-configuration backups through the REST v2 endpoints get/system/configurations/list_available_backups.lua and download_backup.lua, which lack the administrator authorization check that the vendor's fix adds. Because the backup payload includes the ntopng.user.* Redis key space, the downloaded archive routinely discloses local-user password hashes and, on deployments where those features are configured, API tokens, TOTP secrets and WebAuthn credential material - enabling account takeover via usable or crackable credentials. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires a valid authenticated non-administrator ntopng account (PR:L) with network reachability to the web interface; no user interaction and no non-default configuration are needed to trigger the flaw, as the missing admin check affects the backup endpoints in default builds prior to 6.7.260718. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine, actionable priority for any multi-user ntopng deployment, though the vendor CVSS of 8.8 slightly overstates the direct technical impact. … 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 6.7.260718 or later - this is a vendor-released patch and the definitive fix, applying the isAdministratorOrPrintErr() administrator check to both list_available_backups.lua and download_backup.lua (see GHSA-7gqc-vjwr-6rh5 and commit f912ee93bc143330b6ff3bb946ee7211e5ee9e1a). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, confirm which ntopng instances run versions prior to 6.7.260718 and treat them as credential-exposed; block or deny access to the REST v2 endpoints get/system/configurations/list_available_backups.lua and download_backup.lua at the reverse proxy, WAF or firewall layer (or disable the configuration-backup/restore feature where it is not operationally required), and audit REST v2 access logs for any calls to those two endpoints by non-administrator accounts. …
