It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-64996 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Checkmk Checkmk. 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-2025-64996/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-64996/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-64996","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-64996/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-64996","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g5vj-46wr-fpx5","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-64996"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Checkmk monitoring plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can read and modify monitoring data due to overly broad file permissions in the mk_inotify plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"misconfiguration"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Checkmk","cpe":[{"product":"checkmk","vendor":"checkmk"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"}],"description":"In Checkmk versions prior to 2.4.0p16, 2.3.0p41, and all versions of 2.2.0 and older, the mk_inotify plugin creates world-readable and writable files, allowing any local user on the system to read the plugin's output and manipulate it, potentially leading to unauthorized access to or modification of monitoring data.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Overly broad file permissions in the mk_inotify plugin allows reading and manipulating the plugin's output","id":"CVE-2025-64996","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"checkmk:checkmk","products":["checkmk:checkmk"],"type":"misconfiguration","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Insufficient permission validation when showing agent information","id":"CVE-2025-64997"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege Escalation via Process Hijacking in 1E-Exchange-NomadClientHealth-ConfigureGeneralSetting instruction","id":"CVE-2025-64995"},"products":["Checkmk"],"published":"2025-11-18","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"omd: Local privilege escalation when executing omd commands as root","id":"CVE-2025-39666","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-07"},{"cvss_score":9.2,"headline":"Fix 2FA bypass via RestAPI","id":"CVE-2024-8606","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-23"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"PHP code injection in watolib","id":"CVE-2022-46836","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-20"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege Escalation in Windows License plugin for Checkmk Windows Agent","id":"CVE-2025-32919","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Windows agent","id":"CVE-2024-28827","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"1-Click compromize via CSRF","id":"CVE-2024-28828","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Unrestricted upload and download paths in check_sftp","id":"CVE-2024-28826","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-29"}],"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":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-11-18","vendors":["Checkmk GmbH"]},"summary":"Local attackers can read and modify monitoring data due to overly broad file permissions in the mk_inotify plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-64996/"}
