  • Monitor network traffic to the Xymon daemon for use of the 'config' command, especially requests targeting sensitive files such as 'xymonpasswd' in the configuration directory.
  • Detect exploitation attempts by monitoring for retrieval of the xymonpasswd config file, which exposes usernames and password hashes.
  • Flag Xymon servers configured with ALLOWALLCONFIGFILES enabled, as this broadens the attack surface beyond CVE-2016-2055 to all config files.
  • ·Xymon servers with ALLOWALLCONFIGFILES enabled are vulnerable regardless of version, as this setting permits arbitrary config file downloads even on patched versions.
  • ·All Xymon versions 4.1.x, 4.2.x, and 4.3.x before 4.3.25 are affected; the fix is present in version 4.3.25-1 (Debian packages).
