CVE-2026-23928 — Item history widget (in Zabbix security vulnerability

High CVSS 7.3

The Item history widget (in Zabbix 7.0+) or the Plain text widget (in Zabbix 6.0) can execute injected JavaScript when HTML display is enabled. This can allow an attacker to perform unauthorized actions depending on which user opens a dashboard containing these widgets. The malicious JavaScript would have to come from a monitored host controlled by the attacker. Note: the Item history widget is a replacement for the Plain text widget since Zabbix 7.0.

Cross-site scripting and unsafe browser output

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace reflected, stored, and DOM-derived untrusted values into HTML, attributes, URLs, styles, scripts, and client-side template sinks.
  • Identify affected origins, authenticated user roles, sensitive browser capabilities, and where content is shared across tenants.
  • Review framework escaping, rich-text sanitization, legacy templates, and client-side rendering paths.

Remediate safely

  • Use context-aware framework output encoding and safe DOM APIs; keep untrusted data out of executable contexts.
  • Sanitize intentionally supported markup with a maintained allowlist policy and validate URLs and attributes separately.
  • Update affected rendering components and add tests for every output context using inert sentinel markup.
