description

Checkmk host label synchronization is affected by a path traversal flaw in distributed monitoring deployments. An attacker controlling a remote site can write arbitrary files on the central site and execute code as the central site user. Affected deployments require a remote site under attacker control.

mitigation

Upgrade Checkmk to 2.5.0p19 or 2.4.0p40. Replace or retire 2.3.0 deployments, and restrict control of remote sites until upgrades are complete.

fixed in 2.5.0p19, 2.4.0p40
