Summary

Netdata is an open source observability tool. From 2.0.0 until 2.11.0, Netdata registers /api/v3/settings in src/web/api/v3/web_api_v3.c with HTTP_ACL_NOCHECK and HTTP_ACCESS_ANONYMOUS_DATA, causing unauthenticated PUT requests handled by src/web/api/v3/api_v3_settings.c to bypass operator-configured allow dashboard from IP restrictions. A network-reachable caller can persist attacker-controlled JSON in {varlib}/settings/default.json, manipulate its version counter, and use repeated near-20 MiB writes to consume disk space, although the file does not control collection or security policy. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.11.0.

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.

The maintainers of netdata/netdata published their own advisory on GitHub. Reviewed sources take precedence over it.
