DescriptionCVE.org

ntopng before 6.7.260717 fails to check user privileges in the pools bulk-delete endpoint, allowing authenticated non-administrators to delete all host pools and member bindings. Attackers can issue POST requests to the delete pools endpoint to irreversibly destroy every host pool, removing traffic policy bindings and visibility restrictions that may bypass security policies.

AnalysisAI

Missing authorization on the host pool bulk-delete REST endpoint in ntopng before 6.7.260717 allows any authenticated low-privileged user to irreversibly destroy all configured host pools and their member bindings via a POST request. The flaw (CWE-862) bypasses ntopng's capability-based access control model, enabling non-administrator accounts to eliminate traffic policy segmentation, rate-limit assignments, and visibility restrictions that network security teams depend on. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid ntopng user account with at least low-privilege authentication (PR:L); administrator credentials are not needed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.1 with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:L reflects a medium-high integrity threat requiring only low-privilege authentication with no attack complexity barrier. … 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 6.7.260717 or later, which incorporates commit 7d830f31 adding the missing `auth.has_capability(auth.capabilities.pools)` check before the bulk-delete handler executes, as well as equivalent fixes for the endpoints and recipients delete handlers. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all ntopng deployments and document their current versions to determine exposure scope. …
