CVE-2026-82413

ntopng is a web-based network traffic monitoring application. Prior to 6.7.260717, scripts/lua/rest/v2/add/host/toscan.lua and scripts/lua/rest/v2/exec/host/schedulevulnerabilityscan.lua accept scanports from any authenticated session, including non-administrator users, while deployments with login disabled expose the same request without authentication. The endpoints validate scanports with validateSingleWord, which permits shell metacharacters, and persist the value for the minute vulnerability-scan scheduler. The scheduler concatenates the value into an nmap command through nmapscanhost and executes it through ntop.execCmd or ntop.execCmdAsync using popen. For the tcpportscan and cve modules, a preliminary nmap -sn probe must first report the target as up before the attacker-controlled ports are used. When nmap is installed, this command injection allows arbitrary operating-system commands to execute as the ntopng service account without further user interaction. This issue is fixed in version 6.7.260717.
