Summary

OpenNMS Meridian and Horizon from The OpenNMS Group contain an argument injection flaw in their ad-hoc RRD graph feature. A logged-in user with a low-privilege role (ROLE_USER or ROLE_DASHBOARD) can exploit it remotely over the network by sending crafted requests. The attacker can make the server connect to an address they choose (server-side request forgery) or read local RRD files by absolute path, but cannot run operating system commands.

Written by anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5 from the sources below. Verify against them.

Read the original description

An argument injection vulnerability exists in the ad-hoc RRD graph feature of multiple versions of OpenNMS Meridian and Horizon. The ad-hoc graph endpoint (GET /graph/graph.png?adhoc=true) copies request parameters into the rrdtool command line without validation. A low-privileged authenticated user (ROLE_USER or ROLE_DASHBOARD) can insert extra rrdtool arguments. An injected --daemon argument makes the server connect to an attacker-chosen address, which is a server-side request forgery. An injected DEF statement reads a local RRD file by absolute path. The command runs through exec with an argument array and no shell, so arbitrary operating system command execution is not possible. The fix validates the ad-hoc graph parameters against allowlists.

The solution is to upgrade to Meridian 2024.3.15, 2025.0.12, 2026.0.2 and Horizon 36.0.6 or newer. Meridian and Horizon installation instructions state that they are intended for installation within an organization's private networks and should not be directly accessible from the Internet.

Check your systems with an agent

Paste this into a coding or ops agent. It checks your systems read-only and reports a table per asset.

Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-127236 (OpenNMS argument injection in ad-hoc RRD graphs), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

What cve.now has for CVE-2026-127236 (entry last updated 2026-11-12):
Affected:
- The OpenNMS Group Meridian: from 2024.1.0, fixed in 2024.3.15; from 2025.0.0, fixed in 2025.0.12; from 2026.0.0, fixed in 2026.0.2
- The OpenNMS Group Horizon: from 36.0.0, fixed in 36.0.6
Fixed versions: 2024.3.15, 2025.0.12, 2026.0.2, 36.0.6.
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-127236 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-127236 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.

Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:
- https://github.com/OpenNMS/opennms/pull/9065
Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing.

Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action.
