Improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts on some authentication methods in Checkmk before 2.3.0b5 (beta), 2.2.0p26, 2.1.0p43, and in Checkmk 2.0.0 (EOL) facilitates password brute-forcing.
Certain http endpoints of Checkmk in Checkmk < 2.3.0p10 < 2.2.0p31, < 2.1.0p46, <= 2.0.0p39 allows remote attacker to bypass authentication and access data
Insecure deserialization and improper certificate validation in Checkmk Exchange plugin check-mk-api prior to 5.8.1
Expired sessions were not securely terminated in the RestAPI for Tribe29's Checkmk <= 2.1.0p10 and Checkmk <= 2.0.0p28 allowing an attacker to use expired session tokens when communicating with the RestAPI.
Local privilege escalation in Checkmk 2.2.0 (EOL), Checkmk 2.3.0 before 2.3.0p46, Checkmk 2.4.0 before 2.4.0p25, and Checkmk 2.5.0 (beta) before 2.5.0b3 allows a site user to escalate their privileges to root, by manipulating files in the site context that are processed when the omd administrative command is run by root.
Bypass of two factor authentication in RestAPI in Checkmk < 2.3.0p16 and < 2.2.0p34 allows authenticated users to bypass two factor authentication
PHP code injection in watolib auth.php and hosttags.php in Tribe29's Checkmk <= 2.1.0p10, Checkmk <= 2.0.0p27, and Checkmk <= 1.6.0p29 allows an attacker to inject and execute PHP code which will be executed upon request of the vulnerable component.
Privilege escalation in jarsignature agent plugin in Checkmk before 2.2.0p18, 2.1.0p38 and 2.0.0p39 allows local user to escalate privileges
Insufficient authentication flow in Checkmk before 2.2.0p18, 2.1.0p38 and 2.0.0p39 allows attacker to use locked credentials
Privilege escalation in mktsm agent plugin in Checkmk before 2.2.0p18, 2.1.0p38 and 2.0.0p39 allows local user to escalate privileges
Privilege escalation in windows agent plugin in Checkmk before 2.2.0p23, 2.1.0p40 and 2.0.0 (EOL) allows local user to escalate privileges
Least privilege violation and reliance on untrusted inputs in the mkinformix Checkmk agent plugin before Checkmk 2.3.0b4 (beta), 2.2.0p24, 2.1.0p41 and 2.0.0 (EOL) allows local users to escalate privileges.
Improper restriction of local upload and download paths in checksftp in Checkmk before 2.3.0p4, 2.2.0p27, 2.1.0p44, and in Checkmk 2.0.0 (EOL) allows attackers with sufficient permissions to configure the check to read and write local files on the Checkmk site server.
Cross-Site request forgery in Checkmk < 2.3.0p8, < 2.2.0p29, < 2.1.0p45, and <= 2.0.0p39 (EOL) could lead to 1-click compromize of the site.
Incorrect permissions on the Checkmk Windows Agent's data directory in Checkmk < 2.3.0p8, < 2.2.0p29, < 2.1.0p45, and <= 2.0.0p39 (EOL) allows a local attacker to gain SYSTEM privileges.
Improper neutralization of livestatus command delimiters in a specific endpoint within RestAPI of Checkmk prior to 2.2.0p39, 2.3.0p25, and 2.1.0p51 (EOL) allows arbitrary livestatus command execution. Exploitation requires the attacker to have a contact group assigned to their user account and for an event to originate from a host with the same contact group or from an event generated with an unknown host.
Privilege escalation in jarsignature agent plugin in Checkmk versions <2.4.0b7 (beta), <2.3.0p32, <2.2.0p42, and 2.1.0p49 (EOL) allow user with write access to JAVAHOME/bin directory to escalate privileges.
Argument injection in special agent configuration in Checkmk <2.4.0p1, <2.3.0p32, <2.2.0p42 and 2.1.0 allows authenticated attackers to write arbitrary files
Improper neutralization of Livestatus command delimiters in autocomplete endpoint within the RestAPI of Checkmk versions <2.4.0p6, <2.3.0p35, <2.2.0p44, and 2.1.0 (EOL) allows an authenticated user to inject arbitrary Livestatus commands.
Use of an insecure temporary directory in the Windows License plugin for the Checkmk Windows Agent allows Privilege Escalation. This issue affects Checkmk: from 2.4.0 before 2.4.0p13, from 2.3.0 before 2.3.0p38, from 2.2.0 before 2.2.0p46, and all versions of 2.1.0 (EOL).
The web management console of CheckMK Raw Edition (versions 1.5.0 to 1.6.0) allows a misconfiguration of the web-app Dokuwiki (installed by default), which allows embedded php code. As a result, remote code execution is achieved. Successful exploitation requires access to the web management interface, either with valid credentials or with a hijacked session by a user with the role of administrator.
DISPUTED The web management console of CheckMK Enterprise Edition (versions 1.5.0 to 2.0.0p9) does not properly sanitise the uploading of ".mkp" files, which are Extension Packages, making remote code execution possible. Successful exploitation requires access to the web management interface, either with valid credentials or with a hijacked session of a user with administrator role. NOTE: the vendor states that this is the intended behavior: admins are supposed to be able to execute code in this manner.
Uncontrolled Search Path Element in Checkmk Agent in Tribe29 Checkmk before 2.1.0p1, before 2.0.0p25 and before 1.6.0p29 on a Checkmk server allows the site user to escalate privileges via a manipulated unixcat executable
Improper neutralization of active check command arguments in Checkmk < 2.1.0p32, < 2.0.0p38, < 2.2.0p4 leads to arbitrary command execution for authenticated users.
Broad access controls could allow site users to directly interact with the system Apache installation when providing the reverse proxy configurations for Tribe29's Checkmk <= 2.1.0p6, Checkmk <= 2.0.0p27, and all versions of Checkmk 1.6.0 (EOL) allowing an attacker to perform remote code execution with root privileges on the underlying host.
Improper neutralization of livestatus command delimiters in the RestAPI in Checkmk < 2.0.0p36, < 2.1.0p28, and < 2.2.0b8 (beta) allows arbitrary livestatus command execution for authorized users.
Improper neutralization of livestatus command delimiters in the availability timeline in Checkmk <= 2.0.0p39, < 2.1.0p37, and < 2.2.0p15 allows arbitrary livestatus command execution for authorized users.
Improper neutralization of livestatus command delimiters in ajaxsearch in Checkmk <= 2.0.0p39, < 2.1.0p37, and < 2.2.0p15 allows arbitrary livestatus command execution for authorized users.
Usage of user controlled LDLIBRARYPATH in agent in Checkmk 2.2.0p10 up to 2.2.0p16 allows malicious Checkmk site user to escalate rights via injection of malicious libraries
Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) in Checkmk 2.5.0 (beta) before 2.5.0b2 allows authenticated users with permission to create hosts or services to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browsers of other users performing searches in the Unified Search feature.
