CVE-2026-8593 Details
Description
Improper permission enforcement in Checkmk versions 2.5.0 before 2.5.0p9, 2.4.0 before 2.4.0p34, 2.3.0 before 2.3.0p49, and 2.2.0 (EOL) allows users without permissions to view and modify BI packs and rules
A vulnerability exists in Checkmk versions 2.5.0 prior to 2.5.0p9, 2.4.0 prior to 2.4.0p34, 2.3.0 prior to 2.3.0p49, and 2.2.0 (EOL). The issue arises from improper permission enforcement, allowing users without the necessary permissions to view and modify Business Intelligence (BI) packs and rules. Previously, BI rules could be deleted via the REST API by users lacking permissions to modify or even view the relevant BI pack. The vulnerability affects all Checkmk installations with an active Business Intelligence setup, particularly users who have both 'Business Intelligence rules and aggregations' and 'Make changes, perform actions' permissions.
Users can update to Checkmk versions 2.5.0p9, 2.4.0p34, or 2.3.0p49. If an update is not possible, ensure that no users with access to the REST API and the relevant permissions are aware of BI rule identifiers, as these are required to delete BI rules.
