Zabbix Zabbix

CVE-2026-23928

The Item history widget (in Zabbix 7.0+) or the Plain text widget (in Zabbix 6.0) can execute injected JavaScript when HTML display is enabled. This can allow an attacker to perform unauthorized actions depending on which user opens a dashboard containing these widgets. The malicious JavaScript would have to come from a monitored host controlled by the attacker. Note: the Item history widget is a replacement for the Plain text widget since Zabbix 7.0.

What this means for your business

  • It affects Zabbix. It matters if your company, or a supplier that handles your data, runs it.
  • An attacker can use it remotely, over a network, with an administrator login, but only after tricking someone into an action such as opening a file or a link.
  • FIRST's prediction model gives it a 0.3% chance of attack attempts being seen in the next 30 days, ranking above 21% of all known flaws.

What to do

  1. 1Check whether your company or your suppliers run Zabbix, and which version. The affected versions are listed further down this page.
  2. 2If you do, apply the vendor's fix. A patch or vendor advisory has been published.
