Title
Zabbix Agent 2 smartctl plugin argument injection in Zabbix 6.0 and later.
Summary
Zabbix Agent 2 smartctl plugin does not properly sanitize smart.disk.get parameters, allowing an attacker to inject unexpected arguments into the smartctl command. This can be used to leak the NTLMv2 hash from a Windows system.
