Focus on ntop vulnerabilities and metrics.
Last updated: 08 Mar 2025, 23:25 UTC
This page consolidates all known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) associated with ntop. We track both calendar-based metrics (using fixed periods) and rolling metrics (using gliding windows) to give you a comprehensive view of security trends and risk evolution. Use these insights to assess risk and plan your patching strategy.
For a broader perspective on cybersecurity threats, explore the comprehensive list of CVEs by vendor and product. Stay updated on critical vulnerabilities affecting major software and hardware providers.
Total ntop CVEs: 15
Earliest CVE date: 21 Aug 2009, 11:02 UTC
Latest CVE date: 01 Jul 2021, 03:15 UTC
Latest CVE reference: CVE-2021-36082
30-day Count (Rolling): 0
365-day Count (Rolling): 0
Calendar-based Variation
Calendar-based Variation compares a fixed calendar period (e.g., this month versus the same month last year), while Rolling Growth Rate uses a continuous window (e.g., last 30 days versus the previous 30 days) to capture trends independent of calendar boundaries.
Month Variation (Calendar): 0%
Year Variation (Calendar): 0%
Month Growth Rate (30-day Rolling): 0.0%
Year Growth Rate (365-day Rolling): 0.0%
Average CVSS: 5.81
Max CVSS: 7.5
Critical CVEs (≥9): 0
| Range | Count |
|---|---|
| 0.0-3.9 | 0 |
| 4.0-6.9 | 16 |
| 7.0-8.9 | 3 |
| 9.0-10.0 | 0 |
These are the five CVEs with the highest CVSS scores for ntop, sorted by severity first and recency.
ntop nDPI 3.4 has a stack-based buffer overflow in processClientServerHello.
In nDPI through 3.2, the Oracle protocol dissector has a heap-based buffer over-read in ndpi_search_oracle in lib/protocols/oracle.c.
In nDPI through 3.2, ndpi_reset_packet_line_info in lib/ndpi_main.c omits certain reinitialization, leading to a use-after-free.
In nDPI through 3.2, there is a stack overflow in extractRDNSequence in lib/protocols/tls.c.
In nDPI through 3.2, the OpenVPN dissector is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer over-read in ndpi_search_openvpn in lib/protocols/openvpn.c.
In nDPI through 3.2, the H.323 dissector is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer over-read in ndpi_search_h323 in lib/protocols/h323.c, as demonstrated by a payload packet length that is too short.
In nDPI through 3.2, the packet parsing code is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer over-read in ndpi_parse_packet_line_info in lib/ndpi_main.c.
In nDPI through 3.2 Stable, an out-of-bounds read in concat_hash_string in ssh.c can be exploited by a network-positioned attacker that can send malformed SSH protocol messages on a network segment monitored by nDPI's library.
In nDPI through 3.2 Stable, the SSH protocol dissector has multiple KEXINIT integer overflows that result in a controlled remote heap overflow in concat_hash_string in ssh.c. Due to the granular nature of the overflow primitive and the ability to control both the contents and layout of the nDPI library's heap memory through remote input, this vulnerability may be abused to achieve full Remote Code Execution against any network inspection stack that is linked against nDPI and uses it to perform network traffic analysis.
An issue was discovered in ntopng 3.4 before 3.4.180617. The PRNG involved in the generation of session IDs is not seeded at program startup. This results in deterministic session IDs being allocated for active user sessions. An attacker with foreknowledge of the operating system and standard library in use by the host running the service and the username of the user whose session they're targeting can abuse the deterministic random number generation in order to hijack the user's session, thus escalating their access.
The NetworkInterface::getHost function in NetworkInterface.cpp in ntopng before 3.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via an empty field that should have contained a hostname or IP address.
ntopng before 3.0 allows HTTP Response Splitting.
ntopng before 3.0 allows XSS because GET and POST parameters are improperly validated.
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in ntopng through 2.4 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of arbitrary users, as demonstrated by admin/add_user.lua, admin/change_user_prefs.lua, admin/delete_user.lua, and admin/password_reset.lua.
ntopng (aka ntop) before 2.2 allows remote authenticated users to change the login context and gain privileges via the user cookie and username parameter to admin/password_reset.lua.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the nDPI traffic classification library in ntopng (aka ntop) before 1.2.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the HTTP Host header.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in lua/host_details.lua in ntopng 1.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the host parameter.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in ntop allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the title parameter in a list action to plugins/rrdPlugin.
The checkHTTPpassword function in http.c in ntop 3.3.10 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via an Authorization HTTP header that lacks a : (colon) character in the base64-decoded string.
