  - The researcher is showing that due to the way the SNMP trap log is parsed, an attacker can craft an SNMP
    trap with additional lines of information and have forged data show in the Zabbix UI. This attack requires
    SNMP auth to be off and/or the attacker to know the community/auth details. The attack requires an SNMP
    item to be configured as text on the target host. (CVE-2024-42332)
