CVE-2026-82412

8.8 HIGHpublic exploit available

Published 2026-09-21 · Updated 2026-09-23

AI risk analysis

Summary: The vulnerability allows any authenticated non-admin user to execute operating-system commands as the ntopng process account, posing a significant risk due to the lack of proper input validation.
Exploitability: Exploitation is relatively straightforward as it requires an authenticated user with non-admin privileges. The attacker can trigger the command through a logged-in user's browser without needing ntopng credentials.
Blast radius: If exploited, the impact could be severe, as it allows execution of arbitrary commands on the system, potentially leading to full system compromise.
Detection: No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.
Prioritized remediation: Upgrade to version 6.7.260717 or later.

NVD description

ntopng is a web-based network traffic monitoring application. Prior to 6.7.260717, the vulnerability-scan endpoints scripts/lua/rest/v2/add/host/to_scan.lua and scripts/lua/rest/v2/exec/host/schedule_vulnerability_scan.lua accept the scan_ports parameter without an administrator gate and pass it through validateSingleWord, which permits shell metacharacters. scripts/lua/modules/vulnerability_scan/vs_utils.lua then concatenates scan_ports into an nmap command in nmap_scan_host and executes the command through ntop.execCmd or ntop.execCmdAsync and popen. Any authenticated non-admin user can execute operating-system commands as the ntopng process account when nmap is available. Because the endpoints accept GET requests while ntopng's CSRF validation applies to POST request bodies, an attacker can also trigger the command through a logged-in user's browser without possessing ntopng credentials. This issue is fixed in version 6.7.260717.
