Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Zabbix. A remote, unauthenticated attacker with network access to the trapper port can spoof host availability, compromising the integrity of monitoring data. The Zabbix server and proxy accept active agent heartbeat messages without verifying configured pre-shared key (PSK) or certificate-based authentication, allowing an attacker to falsely report arbitrary hosts as available.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-05 10:51:39 UTC
Zabbix Server and Proxy accept the active agent heartbeat message regardless of the configured PSK or certificate authentication. This means someone with access to the Zabbix trapper port can report an arbitrary host using an active agent as available, resulting in a loss of integrity.
