CVE-2024-11320
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedArbitrary commands execution on the server by exploiting a command injection vulnerability in the LDAP authentication mechanism. This issue affects Pandora FMS: from 700 through <=777.4
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceCommand injection vulnerability in the LDAP authentication mechanism of Pandora FMS allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the server by injecting OS commands through the LDAP authentication module. This affects versions 700 through 777.4.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Pandora FMS versionLocate the version file or use the system command to retrieve the installed Pandora FMS version number (commonly found in about page or version file in installation directory)Affected if The installed version is 700 or higher but lower than 777.5
-
Confirm LDAP authentication is in useInspect the authentication configuration to determine if LDAP authentication module is enabled or configuredAffected if LDAP authentication is enabled or configured in the system
-
Check LDAP configuration parametersReview the LDAP authentication configuration files or settings for any user-supplied parameters that could be manipulatedAffected if User-controllable parameters exist in LDAP configuration without proper sanitization
-
Assess network exposureDetermine if the Pandora FMS web interface or LDAP authentication endpoints are exposed to untrusted networksAffected if The instance is directly accessible from the internet or untrusted networks
The environment is affected if running Pandora FMS version 700 through 777.4 with LDAP authentication enabled and accessible to potential attackers.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped777.5
Immediately restrict network exposure of Pandora FMS instances and implement proper input validation/sanitization on all LDAP authentication parameters. Consider disabling LDAP auth until patched.
777.5
- Backup your current Pandora FMS installation and database before proceeding with any upgrade
- Download Pandora FMS version 777.5 or later from the official Pandora FMS distribution channels
- Review the official upgrade documentation for your specific installation type (standalone, cluster, container)
- Execute the upgrade process following the documented procedures for your deployment method
- Verify the LDAP authentication functionality is working correctly after upgrade
- Confirm the version number post-upgrade matches or exceeds 777.5
