CVE-2026-30804
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 · uneditedUnrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability allows Remote Code Execution via file upload. This issue affects Pandora FMS: from 777 through 800
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 confidencePandora FMS versions 777 through 800 contain an unrestricted file upload vulnerability that allows remote attackers to upload files with dangerous types (such as executable scripts) to the server, leading to remote code execution.
Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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 check the web interface footer for the version number. Common locations include / Pandora FMS console/login page, or config files in the installation directory.Affected if The installed version is 777, 778, 779, 780, 781, 782, 783, 784, 785, 786, 787, 788, 789, 790, 791, 792, 793, 794, 795, 796, 797, 798, 799, or 800 (any version >= 777 and < 800.1)
-
Locate file upload functionalityAccess the Pandora FMS web interface and navigate to sections that handle file uploads, typically under Enterprise Manager, Policy Manager, or Incident Management menus. Identify which modules allow file attachments.Affected if File upload features are accessible and operational in the web interface
-
Identify upload storage locationInspect the web server configuration and Pandora FMS setup to determine where uploaded files are stored. Check if the uploads directory is within the web document root (htdocs, html, or public_html).Affected if Uploaded files are stored in a directory accessible via HTTP/HTTPS (within the webroot)
-
Verify script execution restrictionsCheck the web server configuration (Apache nginx config) for the upload directory. Look for directives that disable script execution (Options -ExecCGI, RemoveHandler, or equivalent).Affected if Script execution is NOT disabled in the upload directory, allowing uploaded PHP, JSP, or CGI files to execute
A user is affected if their Pandora FMS installation version is 777 through 800 (less than 800.1) AND the file upload feature is accessible AND uploads are stored in a web-accessible directory without script execution restrictions.

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 · scoped800.1
Restrict and validate file upload functionality by implementing strict allowlist-based file type validation, storing uploads outside the webroot, disabling script execution in upload directories, and renaming uploaded files.
800.1 or later
- 1. Create a complete backup of the current Pandora FMS installation including all configuration files and the database
- 2. Download Pandora FMS version 800.1 or later from the official Pandora FMS download repository (pandorafms.com)
- 3. Stop the Pandora FMS services before performing the upgrade
- 4. Follow the official Pandora FMS upgrade documentation for your specific installation type (package-based or source-based)
- 5. Apply the new version files, ensuring all components are updated (server, console, and database schema)
- 6. Start the Pandora FMS services and verify the application is running
- 7. Verify the file upload functionality works correctly and test that malicious file uploads are now blocked
- 8. Confirm the version number displays as 800.1 or later in the Pandora FMS interface
