CVE-2026-30810
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 · uneditedServer-Side Request Forgery vulnerability allows Privilege Escalation via API Checker extension. 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 · moderate confidenceServer-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the API Checker extension of Pandora FMS versions 777-800 allows attackers to make the server perform arbitrary requests to internal or external resources, potentially leading to privilege escalation through access to internal services or administrative interfaces.

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 Pandora FMS installation and determine the installed version number. This is typically visible in the login page footer, in the 'About' section of the admin panel, or by querying the system package manager if installed via OS packages.Affected if The installed version is 777 through 800 inclusive, or specifically less than 777.17 when in the 777.x line.
-
Confirm API Checker extension presenceNavigate to the Pandora FMS admin console and check whether the 'API Checker' extension is installed and enabled. This is typically found under the 'Extensions' or 'Admin Tools' menu sections.Affected if The API Checker extension is installed and enabled in the Pandora FMS environment.
-
Review extension configurationAccess the API Checker extension settings page and examine its configuration for any user-defined URLs, endpoints, or request parameters that could be controlled by authenticated users.Affected if The API Checker allows user-supplied URLs or endpoints to be specified in requests without validation.
-
Inspect server access logsReview Pandora FMS and web server access logs for requests to the API Checker endpoint that show unusual or unexpected destination URLs, particularly internal network addresses (such as 127.0.0.1, 10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x) or cloud metadata endpoints.Affected if Logs show requests from the API Checker making calls to internal resources or unexpected external domains.
A user is affected if they are running Pandora FMS versions 777 through 800 with the API Checker extension enabled, as this combination allows authenticated users to trigger arbitrary server-side requests.

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 · scoped777.17802
Restrict the API Checker to validate and allowlist permitted target URLs/hosts, implement strict input sanitization, and enforce network segmentation to prevent internal service access from the application server.
Pandora FMS 777.17 or 802+ (depending on your current branch)
- 1. Backup your current Pandora FMS installation and database before proceeding with any upgrade.
- 2. Download the latest stable version of Pandora FMS from the official repository or pandorafms.com.
- 3. If running version 777.x, upgrade to version 777.17 or later.
- 4. If running version 778.x through 801.x, upgrade to version 802 or later.
- 5. Verify the API Checker extension is updated and functioning correctly after upgrade.
- 6. Test that the SSRF vulnerability is no longer exploitable by attempting unauthorized API requests.
