The Common Vulnerability Scoring System is a standardized framework
for assessing the severity of vulnerabilities in software and systems.
We collect and displays CVSS scores from various sources for each CVE.
| Score | Version | Severity | Vector | Exploitability Score | Impact Score | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVSS 3.1 | HIGH | [email protected] | ||||
| CVSS 4.0 | MEDIUM | [email protected] |
Solution
Upgrade Checkmk to a version that addresses the privilege escalation vulnerability in the mk_mysql agent plugin.
- Upgrade Checkmk to a patched version.
- Ensure the Checkmk agent service runs with least privilege.
- Restrict creation of services with specific names.
- Verify file and directory permissions.
