CVE-2013-7484
Zabbix before version 4.4.0alpha2 stores credentials in the "users"
table with the password hash stored as a MD5 hash, which is a known
insecure hashing method. Furthermore, no salt is used with the hash.
CVE-2019-17382 (Disputed, not considered by upstream to be a security issue)
An issue was discovered in
zabbix.php?action=dashboard.view&dashboardid=1 in Zabbix through
4.4. An attacker can bypass the login page and access the dashboard
page, and then create a Dashboard, Report, Screen, or Map without
any Username/Password (i.e., anonymously). All created elements
(Dashboard/Report/Screen/Map) are accessible by other users and by
an admin.
CVE-2022-43515
Zabbix Frontend provides a feature that allows admins to
maintain the installation and ensure that only certain IP addresses
can access it. In this way, any user will not be able to access the
Zabbix Frontend while it is being maintained and possible sensitive
data will be prevented from being disclosed. An attacker can bypass
this protection and access the instance using IP address not listed
in the defined range.
CVE-2023-29450
JavaScript pre-processing can be used by the attacker to gain
access to the file system (read-only access on behalf of user
"zabbix") on the Zabbix Server or Zabbix Proxy, potentially leading
to unauthorized access to sensitive data.
CVE-2023-29451
Specially crafted string can cause a buffer overrun in the JSON
parser library leading to a crash of the Zabbix Server or a Zabbix
Proxy.
CVE-2023-29454
