An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-22497 exists.\n\nAffected product: netdata. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-22497/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-22497/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-22497","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-22497/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-22497","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2023-22497","GHSA-jx85-39cw-66f2","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-22497"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Netdata monitoring agent","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass authentication in Netdata streaming by using a MACHINE_GUID as an API key, allowing unauthorized data access.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"netdata","vendor":"netdata"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-668","name":"Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere"},{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"Netdata is an open source option for real-time infrastructure monitoring and troubleshooting. Each Netdata Agent has an automatically generated MACHINE GUID. It is generated when the agent first starts and it is saved to disk, so that it will persist across restarts and reboots. Anyone who has access to a Netdata Agent has access to its MACHINE_GUID. Streaming is a feature that allows a Netdata Agent to act as parent for other Netdata Agents (children), offloading children from various functions (increased data retention, ML, health monitoring, etc) that can now be handled by the parent Agent. Configuration is done via `stream.conf`. On the parent side, users configure in `stream.conf` an API key (any random UUID can do) to provide common configuration for all children using this API key and per MACHINE GUID configuration to customize the configuration for each child. The way this was implemented, allowed an attacker to use a valid MACHINE_GUID as an API key. This affects all users who expose their Netdata Agents (children) to non-trusted users and they also expose to the same users Netdata Agent parents that aggregate data from all these children. The problem has been fixed in: Netdata agent v1.37 (stable) and Netdata agent v1.36.0-409 (nightly). As a workaround, do not enable streaming by default. If you have previously enabled this, it can be disabled. Limiting access to the port on the recipient Agent to trusted child connections may mitigate the impact of this vulnerability.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Netdata is vulnerable to improper authentication","id":"CVE-2023-22497","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2023-22498"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Netdata vulnerable to command injection","id":"CVE-2023-22496"},"products":["netdata"],"published":"2023-01-14","related":[{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Netdata vulnerable to command injection","id":"CVE-2023-22496","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-14"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-9834","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-15"},{"cvss_score":5.1,"headline":"Netdata \u003c 2.3.1 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via love Parameter in ilove.svg Endpoint","id":"CVE-2025-71385","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-02"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-03-10","vendors":["netdata"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass authentication in Netdata streaming by using a MACHINE_GUID as an API key, allowing unauthorized data access.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-22497/"}
