CVE-2010-2790
Description
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the formatQuery function in frontends/php/include/classes/class.curl.php in Zabbix before 1.8.3rc1 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) filter_set, (2) show_details, (3) filter_rst, or (4) txt_select parameters to the triggers page (tr_status.php). NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
Multiple XSS vulnerabilities in Zabbix before 1.8.3rc1 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script via parameters to the triggers page.
Vulnerability
The formatQuery function in frontends/php/include/classes/class.curl.php in Zabbix before version 1.8.3rc1 is vulnerable to multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. The filter_set, show_details, filter_rst, and txt_select parameters passed to the triggers page (tr_status.php) are not properly sanitized, allowing injection of arbitrary web script or HTML [1][2].
Exploitation
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious URL containing XSS payloads in any of the four parameters and tricking a victim into clicking the link. No authentication is required, and the attack is performed remotely over HTTP. The injected script executes in the context of the victim's browser session with the Zabbix frontend.
Impact
Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement of the Zabbix interface, or theft of sensitive information displayed on the triggers page.
Mitigation
The vulnerability is fixed in Zabbix 1.8.3rc1, released on 2010-08-05 [1]. Users should upgrade to this version or later. No workarounds are documented in the available references.
