Missing authorization in Checkmk <2.5.0p12, <2.4.0p36, <2.3.0p50 and all 2.2.0 versions allows an authenticated user who knows the ID of a background job to view that job's status and results.
CVE-2026-17548
This medium-severity CVE scores 5.3 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.2%, top 89% 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).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
