Description
A template injection vulnerability was discovered in the Dashboards functionality due to improper validation of an input parameter. An authenticated user with the required privileges can define a dashboard containing a malicious payload, or a victim can be socially engineered into importing a malicious dashboard. When the victim views or imports the dashboard, the payload executes in their browser context, allowing the attacker to modify application data or disrupt application availability.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a template injection flaw in the Dashboards feature of Nozomi Networks CMC and Guardian. An authenticated user with sufficient privileges can craft a dashboard that contains malicious code, or an attacker can convince a victim to import a malicious dashboard. When viewed or imported, the payload runs in the victim’s browser context, permitting the attacker to alter application data or cause availability disruptions. The flaw is classified as CWE‑1336.

Affected Systems

Nozomi Networks CMC and Nozomi Networks Guardian devices running versions prior to 26.3.0 are affected. Any system that allows users to create or import dashboards through the web management interface is vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.1 indicates moderate severity. EPSS information is currently unavailable, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no widely known exploitation yet. The attack vector is the web interface; successful exploitation requires an authenticated user with dashboard creation privileges or a socially engineered victim who imports a malicious dashboard. The impact is limited to the victim browser session, but it can lead to data tampering or service disruption within the application.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Upgrade to v26.3.0 or later.


Vendor Workaround

Use internal firewall features to limit access to the web management interface.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Nozomi Networks CMC and Guardian to version 26.3.0 or later to eliminate the template injection flaw.
  • Use internal firewall rules to restrict access to the web management interface, review and remove unnecessary user accounts, and audit existing dashboards for malicious content.
  • Remove or rebuild any dashboards that were created or imported before the upgrade, ensuring that imported dashboards originate from trusted sources.
