Privilege escalation in the mk_mysql agent plugin on Windows in Checkmk <2.4.0p29, <2.3.0p47, and 2.2.0 (EOL) allows a local unprivileged user able to create a Windows service whose name matches 'MySQL' or 'MariaDB' (or with write access to a binary referenced by such a service) to execute arbitrary code in the context of the Checkmk agent service, which typically runs as SYSTEM.
CVE-2024-47091
This high-severity CVE scores 7.8 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 0.1%, top 98% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
