PRTG Network Monitor - Local File Inclusion

id: CVE-2018-19410

info:
  name: PRTG Network Monitor - Local File Inclusion
  author: DhiyaneshDK
  severity: critical
  description: |
    PRTG Network Monitor before 18.2.40.1683 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to create users with read-write privileges (including administrator). A remote unauthenticated user can craft an HTTP request and override attributes of the 'include' directive in /public/login.htm and perform a Local File Inclusion attack, by including /api/addusers and executing it. By providing the 'id' and 'users' parameters, an unauthenticated attacker can create a user with read-write privileges (including administrator).
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can create administrator users with full privileges via local file inclusion, leading to complete compromise of the monitoring system and access to network infrastructure.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade to PRTG Network Monitor version 18.2.40.1683 or later and ensure the /public directory is properly secured.
