CVE-2026-23919: Insufficient isolation of JavaScript (Duktape) execution context on Zabbix Server

For performance reasons Zabbix Server/Proxy reuses JavaScript (Duktape) contexts (used in script items, JavaScript reprocessing, Webhooks). This can lead to confidentiality loss where a regular (non-super) Zabbix administrator leaks data for hosts they do not have access to. A fix has been released that makes the built in Zabbix JavaScript objects read-only, but please be advised that usage of global JavaScript variables is not recommended because their content could be leaked. More information <a href='https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/7.4/en/manual/installation/known_issues#preprocessing-global-variables-are-unsafe'>in Zabbix documentation</a>.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2026-23919 is a Zabbix Server/Proxy data isolation issue in reused JavaScript execution contexts. A non-super Zabbix administrator may be able to leak data from hosts they should not access. This is primarily a confidentiality concern for organizations that delegate Zabbix administration across teams or tenants.

Executive priority

Prioritize remediation if Zabbix is used for shared administration, managed services, or segmented business units. The main business risk is unauthorized visibility into monitoring data across host boundaries. If Zabbix is centrally administered only by trusted super administrators, urgency may be lower but upgrade planning is still recommended.

Technical view

Zabbix reuses Duktape JavaScript contexts for script items, JavaScript preprocessing, and webhooks. Insufficient isolation can expose data across contexts. The CVSS v4.0 score is 7.1 High, with high privileges required and no user interaction. Zabbix states a fix makes built-in JavaScript objects read-only and warns against global JavaScript variables.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most relevant where Zabbix Server or Proxy uses JavaScript-based items, preprocessing, or webhooks, and non-super administrators have delegated access. Listed affected product versions include Zabbix 6.0.0, 7.0.0, 7.2.0, and 7.4.0, with default status unknown in the CVE data.

Exploitation context

The source bundle does not show public exploitation or CISA KEV listing. Exploitation requires authenticated high-privilege Zabbix access, described as a regular non-super administrator, and specific JavaScript usage conditions. The issue can cross intended host access boundaries inside Zabbix.

Researcher notes

Evidence is limited to CVE metadata and the Zabbix issue reference. The CVE identifies CWE-488 and a CVSS v4 vector indicating adjacent attack vector, low complexity, high privileges, and partial integrity and availability impacts. No exploit details, proof of concept, or confirmed in-the-wild activity are present in the provided sources.

Mitigation direction

  • Review Zabbix advisory ZBX-27638 for fixed versions and upgrade guidance.
  • Apply the released Zabbix fix when available for your deployment branch.
  • Avoid using global JavaScript variables in Zabbix preprocessing, scripts, and webhooks.
  • Restrict non-super administrator rights to the minimum operational scope.
  • Review delegated Zabbix administration models for cross-team or tenant exposure.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory Zabbix Server and Proxy versions across environments.
  • Identify use of script items, JavaScript preprocessing, and webhooks.
  • Check whether non-super administrators can manage affected JavaScript features.
  • Review configurations for global JavaScript variable usage.
  • Confirm vendor-fixed builds are deployed after Zabbix guidance is reviewed.
