DescriptionCVE.org

Nezha Monitoring is a self-hostable, lightweight, servers and websites monitoring and O&M tool. From version 1.0.0 to before version 2.2.0, the Nezha dashboard exposes two endpoints that create long-lived WebSocket streams to monitored agents: POST /api/v1/terminal → createTerminal() (terminal.go:27-67) and POST /api/v1/file → createFM() (fm.go:28-67). Both call rpc.NezhaHandlerSingleton.CreateStream(streamId, ...) which inserts a new ioStreamContext into an unbounded map[string]*ioStreamContext (s.ioStreams in io_stream.go:59-67). There is no per-user rate limit, no global semaphore, and no per-server connection cap. This issue has been patched in version 2.2.0.

AnalysisAI

Unbounded WebSocket stream allocation in Nezha Monitoring versions 1.0.0 through 2.1.x allows any authenticated dashboard user to exhaust server memory and crash the monitoring service. The two affected endpoints - POST /api/v1/terminal and POST /api/v1/file - each insert a long-lived ioStreamContext into a global Go map with no per-user rate limit, no global semaphore, and no per-server connection cap, making repeated calls a trivial denial-of-service vector. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Obtain low-privilege dashboard credentials
Delivery
Send rapid POST requests to /api/v1/terminal or /api/v1/file
Exploit
Each request calls CreateStream() inserting a new ioStreamContext into unbounded global map
Execution
Heap memory grows without limit
Persist
Go runtime exhausts available memory
Impact
Nezha dashboard crashes and monitoring becomes unavailable

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid Nezha dashboard account at any privilege level (PR:L per CVSS vector) - no administrative role is needed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H is a fair representation of real-world risk. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has obtained a low-privilege Nezha dashboard account - whether via credential theft, a shared team account, or a compromised user - writes a simple loop that issues repeated POST requests to /api/v1/terminal or /api/v1/file. Each request registers a new ioStreamContext in the global unbounded map without triggering any server-side limit, causing heap allocation to grow continuously until the Go runtime crashes the dashboard process and monitoring visibility is lost for all operators.
Remediation Upgrade Nezha Monitoring to version 2.2.0 or later, which introduces the necessary resource controls on stream creation for both the terminal and file manager endpoints. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
