CVE-2024-9987
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 · uneditedA post-authentication SQL Injection vulnerability within the filters parameter of the extensions/agents_modules_csv functionality. This issue affects Pandora FMS: from 700 through <777.3.
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 confidenceA post-authentication SQL Injection vulnerability exists in the filters parameter of the extensions/agents_modules_csv functionality in Pandora FMS. An authenticated attacker can inject malicious SQL queries through the filters parameter to manipulate database queries, potentially allowing unauthorized data access, modification, or exfiltration.

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 installed Pandora FMS versionAccess the Pandora FMS admin console and navigate to the About or System Information section, typically found under Setup > System. Alternatively, check the version file in the installation directory if you have server access.Affected if The installed version falls within the range of >= 700 and <= 777.3
-
Verify access to the agents_modules_csv endpointCheck if the extensions/agents_modules_csv URL path is reachable in your Pandora FMS installation. Attempt to access it via browser or curl with valid authentication credentials.Affected if The endpoint responds and accepts requests, indicating it is enabled and accessible
-
Confirm authentication is configured for the vulnerable endpointReview user account permissions and role assignments. Determine whether standard or low-privilege users have access to the extensions/agents_modules_csv functionality.Affected if Non-administrator or untrusted accounts can access the endpoint, creating a wider attack surface
-
Inspect web server and application logs for SQL injection patternsSearch access and error logs for requests to extensions/agents_modules_csv containing suspicious patterns in the filters parameter such as SQL keywords (UNION, SELECT, INSERT), quotes, or encoded payloads.Affected if Log analysis reveals known SQL injection signatures or anomalous filters parameter values in requests to this endpoint
-
Review database audit logs for unauthorized query manipulationExamine database logs or audit trails for unexpected or malicious SQL queries originating from the Pandora FMS application user, especially queries targeting sensitive tables.Affected if Database logs show unexpected SQL commands or data access patterns that deviate from normal application behavior
Your environment is affected if the installed Pandora FMS version is between 700 and 777.3 inclusive AND the extensions/agents_modules_csv endpoint is accessible to authenticated users who could exploit the filters parameter.

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 · scopedUpgrade to Pandora FMS version 777.3 or later. Until patched, restrict access to the extensions/agents_modules_csv endpoint to trusted administrators only and monitor for SQL injection attempt patterns in request logs.
777.3 or later stable release
- 1. Backup your current Pandora FMS database and configuration files.
- 2. Download Pandora FMS version 777.3 or later from the official source (pandorafms.com).
- 3. Follow the official upgrade documentation for your installation method (ZIP, ISO, or repository).
- 4. Verify the upgrade was successful by logging into the console.
- 5. Test the extensions/agents_modules_csv functionality to confirm the vulnerability is resolved.
