Netdata · Netdata · CVE-2023-22497
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Netdata agent versions prior to 1.37
Netdata agent versions prior to 1.36.0-409 (nightly)
**Description**
The issue affects Netdata Agents that expose their services to non-trusted users, particularly when the streaming feature is enabled, allowing a parent Netdata Agent to handle functions for its children. An attacker can exploit this by using a valid MACHINE GUID as an API key. This can lead to unauthorized access and potential data manipulation. The estimated number of potentially affected devices is not specified.
**Recommendations**
For Netdata agent versions prior to 1.37, update to version 1.37 or later.
For Netdata agent versions prior to 1.36.0-409 (nightly), update to version 1.36.0-409 (nightly) or later.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the streaming feature by default or limiting access to the port on the recipient Agent to trusted child connections.
