CVE-2026-59788 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-05

Zabbix, a network monitoring and alerting platform, contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the email media type OAuth configuration form. An attacker can craft a malicious media type configuration file that, when imported by a Super Admin, executes arbitrary JavaScript in the admin's browser. This could lead to account compromise or unauthorized administrative actions.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: 7.4.12

Do not import media type configurations from untrusted sources until upgrading.

Technical details

The OAuth form passes the Authorization endpoint URL directly to window.open() without validating the URL scheme, allowing javascript: URLs to be executed. The vulnerability is stored in the configuration and triggered when a Super Admin imports a crafted media type file and grants consent. An attacker with the ability to deliver the import file gains JavaScript execution in the context of the Super Admin's session.
