CVE-2026-59787: Zabbix SNMP trap receiver record injection in zabbix_trap_receiver.pl

CVE-2026-59787 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-05

Zabbix's SNMP trap receiver script (zabbix_trap_receiver.pl) fails to properly sanitize trap content delimiters, allowing an attacker who can send SNMP traps to inject malicious records. An attacker could forge trap data for other hosts, corrupting the integrity of monitoring records and potentially masking real network events.

Technologies: Zabbix Proxy, Zabbix Server. Vendors: Zabbix.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: Server 6.0.48, 7.0.29, 7.4.13; Proxy 6.0.48, 7.0.29, 7.4.13

Update affected components and replace the deployed zabbix_trap_receiver.pl script with the fixed version from the updated release.

Technical details

The Perl SNMP trap receiver script does not neutralize the ZBXTRAP record delimiter within trap payload content, enabling record injection attacks. An attacker with network access to send SNMP traps can craft payloads containing delimiter characters to inject fabricated records targeting arbitrary hosts, compromising data integrity. The vulnerability exists in Server and Proxy components across multiple Zabbix versions.

Affected products

  • Zabbix Server 6.0.0 - 6.0.47, 7.0.0 - 7.0.28, 7.4.0 - 7.4.12
  • Zabbix Proxy 6.0.0 - 6.0.47, 7.0.0 - 7.0.28, 7.4.0 - 7.4.12
