Improper Input Validation of LDAP user IDs in Tribe29 Checkmk allows attackers that can control LDAP user IDs to manipulate files on the server. Checkmk <= 2.1.0p19, Checkmk <= 2.0.0p32, and all versions of Checkmk 1.6.0 (EOL) are affected.

Path-Traversal in MKP storing in Tribe29 Checkmk <=2.0.0p32 and <= 2.1.0p18 allows an administrator to write mkp files to arbitrary locations via a malicious mkp file.

A permission issue affects users that deployed the shipped version of the Checkmk Debian package. Packages created by the agent bakery (enterprise editions only) were not affected. Using the shipped version of the agents, the maintainer scripts located at /var/lib/dpkg/info/ will be owned by the user and the group with ID 1001. If such a user exists on the system, they can change the content of these files (which are then executed by root). This leads to a local privilege escalation on the monitored host. Version 1.6 through 1.6.9p29, version 2.0 through 2.0.0p26, version 2.1 through 2.1.0p3, and version 2.2.0i1 are affected.

In Checkmk before 1.6.0p29, 2.x before 2.0.0p25, and 2.1.x before 2.1.0b10, a site user can escalate to root by editing an OMD hook symlink.

CheckMK Raw Edition software (versions 1.5.0 to 1.6.0) does not sanitise the input of a web service parameter that is in an unauthenticated zone. This Reflected XSS allows an attacker to open a backdoor on the device with HTML content and interpreted by the browser (such as JavaScript or other client-side scripts) or to steal the session cookies of a user who has previously authenticated via a man in the middle. Successful exploitation requires access to the web service resource without authentication.

The web management console of CheckMK Enterprise Edition (versions 1.5.0 to 2.0.0p9) does not properly sanitise the uploading of ".mkp" files, which are Extension Packages, making remote code execution possible. Successful exploitation requires access to the web management interface, either with valid credentials or with a hijacked session of a user with administrator role. NOTE: the vendor states that this is the intended behavior: admins are supposed to be able to execute code in this manner

The web management console of CheckMK Raw Edition (versions 1.5.0 to 1.6.0) allows a misconfiguration of the web-app Dokuwiki (installed by default), which allows embedded php code. As a result, remote code execution is achieved. Successful exploitation requires access to the web management interface, either with valid credentials or with a hijacked session by a user with the role of administrator.

In Checkmk <=2.0.0p19 fixed in 2.0.0p20 and Checkmk <=1.6.0p27 fixed in 1.6.0p28, the title of a Predefined condition is not properly escaped when shown as condition, which can result in Cross Site Scripting (XSS).

Checkmk <=2.0.0p19 Fixed in 2.0.0p20 and Checkmk <=1.6.0p27 Fixed in 1.6.0p28 are affected by a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. The Alias of a site was not properly escaped when shown as condition for notifications.

Checkmk <=2.0.0p19 contains a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. While creating or editing a user attribute, the Help Text is subject to HTML injection, which can be triggered for editing a user.
