CVE-2026-46716
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 · uneditedNezha Monitoring is a self-hostable, lightweight, servers and websites monitoring and O&M tool. From version 1.4.0 to before version 2.0.8, a RoleMember user can create a scheduled cron task with Cover=CronCoverAll, Servers=[] and an arbitrary Command. At every tick of the scheduler, the dashboard pushes that command to every server in the global ServerShared map — including servers that belong to other tenants (admin's servers, other members' servers). Each agent runs the command and returns the output, which is then sent to the attacker's own NotificationGroup → attacker-controlled webhook. This issue has been patched in version 2.0.8.
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 low-privilege RoleMember user can create a scheduled cron task with Cover=CronCoverAll and empty Servers array that executes arbitrary commands on ALL servers in the global ServerShared map across all tenants. Command output is exfiltrated to the attacker's controlled webhook via a NotificationGroup.

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.
-
Check if cron scheduling feature is enabledInspect system configuration files or database for scheduled task/cron functionality status. Look for settings like 'CronEnabled', 'TaskScheduling', or similar flags that control whether scheduled tasks can be created.Affected if Scheduling feature is enabled and RoleMember users have permission to create tasks
-
Search for cron tasks with Cover=CronCoverAll and empty Servers arrayQuery the scheduled tasks database or configuration for tasks where Cover is set to 'CronCoverAll' and Servers array is empty or null. This combination allows execution across all servers.Affected if Any cron task exists with Cover=CronCoverAll and empty Servers array
-
Review NotificationGroups for external webhook URLsExamine all NotificationGroup configurations and identify any that point to external, attacker-controlled URLs. Check notification destinations for suspicious or unknown webhook endpoints.Affected if A NotificationGroup exists with a webhook URL pointing to an external domain not controlled by your organization
-
Inspect global ServerShared map for multi-tenant exposureReview the ServerShared map configuration to confirm it contains servers from multiple tenants. Check if this map is accessible to low-privilege RoleMember users.Affected if ServerShared map contains servers across multiple tenants and is accessible to RoleMember users
-
Verify RoleMember scheduling permissionsCheck role-based access control (RBAC) configuration to determine if RoleMember users have permissions to create or modify scheduled cron tasks.Affected if RoleMember role has scheduling or task creation permissions enabled
A user is affected if the scheduling feature is enabled, RoleMember users have task creation permissions, and any cron task exists with Cover=CronCoverAll and empty Servers array combined with a suspicious NotificationGroup pointing to an external webhook.

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 version 2.0.8 or later immediately. As an interim measure, restrict or disable RoleMember scheduling permissions until patching is complete.
2.0.8
- 1. Back up your current Nezha Monitoring installation and database before proceeding with the upgrade.
- 2. If using Docker, stop the current container: docker-compose down or docker stop <container_id>
- 3. Pull the fixed version 2.0.8: docker pull nezhahq/nezha:v0.8.8 or git fetch && git checkout v0.8.8 for non-Docker installs
- 4. Restart the service with the new version: docker-compose up -d or your equivalent start command
- 5. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the dashboard version number
