Summary
ntopng before 6.7.260717 fails to check user privileges in the pools bulk-delete endpoint, allowing authenticated non-administrators to delete all host pools and member bindings. Attackers can issue POST requests to the delete pools endpoint to irreversibly destroy every host pool, removing traffic policy bindings and visibility restrictions that may bypass security policies.

Inferred packages
No advisory lists a package for this vulnerability yet. The CVE names these as products and links their GitHub repository, and the package registry names the same repository, so they are probably the affected packages. Low confidence: the versions are the CVE’s own for the product, and a stack check reports the package as unchecked when there are none.
