CVE-2026-23919
Received Received - Intake
Information Disclosure in Zabbix JavaScript Context Reuse

Publication date: 2026-03-24

Last updated on: 2026-03-24

Assigner: Zabbix

Description
For performance reasons Zabbix Server/Proxy reuses JavaScript (Duktape) contexts (used in script items, JavaScript reprocessing, Webhooks). This can lead to confidentiality loss where a regular (non-super) Zabbix administrator leaks data for hosts they do not have access to. A fix has been released that makes the built in Zabbix JavaScript objects read-only, but please be advised that usage of global JavaScript variables is not recommended because their content could be leaked. More information <a href='https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/7.4/en/manual/installation/known_issues#preprocessing-global-variables-are-unsafe'>in Zabbix documentation</a>.

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability exists in Zabbix Server and Proxy where JavaScript (Duktape) contexts are reused for performance reasons. These contexts are used in script items, JavaScript reprocessing, and Webhooks.

Because of this reuse, a regular (non-super) Zabbix administrator can potentially leak data from hosts they do not have access to, leading to confidentiality loss.

A fix has been released that makes the built-in Zabbix JavaScript objects read-only to mitigate this issue, but the use of global JavaScript variables is still not recommended as their content could be leaked.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized data disclosure where a regular Zabbix administrator might access confidential information from hosts they are not authorized to view.

Such confidentiality loss can compromise sensitive information within your monitoring environment, potentially exposing critical data to unauthorized personnel.


How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:

I don't know


How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?

I don't know


What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?

To mitigate this vulnerability, apply the fix released by Zabbix that makes the built-in Zabbix JavaScript objects read-only.

Additionally, avoid using global JavaScript variables in Zabbix scripts, as their content could be leaked due to the reuse of JavaScript contexts.

For more detailed information, refer to the Zabbix documentation on known issues related to preprocessing and global variables.
