It would be great to have a simple integration between Zabbix Frontend and Fail2ban to easily protect Zabbix from intrusions.
The main idea is - logging failed login attempts to file (nginx logs, apache logs, etc.).
Example for Nginx:
1. Make simple functions inside /usr/share/zabbix/include/classes/user/CWebUser.php according to the link https://www.reddit.com/r/zabbix/comments/ng13jl/zabbix_5_frontend_failed_logins_log/ .
public static function login(string $login, string $password): bool { try { self::$data = API::User()->login([ 'username' => $login, 'password' => $password, 'userData' => true ]); if (!self::$data) { throw new Exception(); } API::getWrapper()->auth = [ 'type' => CJsonRpc::AUTH_TYPE_FRONTEND, 'auth' => self::$data['sessionid'] ]; if (self::$data['gui_access'] == GROUP_GUI_ACCESS_DISABLED) { error(_('GUI access disabled.')); throw new Exception(); } if (isset(self::$data['attempt_failed']) && self::$data['attempt_failed']) { CProfile::init(); CProfile::update('web.login.attempt.failed', self::$data['attempt_failed'], PROFILE_TYPE_INT); CProfile::update('web.login.attempt.ip', self::$data['attempt_ip'], PROFILE_TYPE_STR); CProfile::update('web.login.attempt.clock', self::$data['attempt_clock'], PROFILE_TYPE_INT); if (!CProfile::flush()) { return false; } } // Registro de inicio de sesión exitoso self::writeLoginLog($login, true); return true; } catch (Exception $e) { // Registro de inicio de sesión fallido self::writeLoginLog($login, false); self::setDefault(); return false; } } // Funcion logger private static function writeLoginLog(string $login, bool $success): void { $logMessage = $success ? 'Login success: ' : 'Login failure: '; $logMessage .= $login; error_log($logMessage); }
2. Create new simple fail2ban filter like that /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/nginx-http-auth-zabbix.conf:
[Definition]
failregex = \[error\].+Login failure: .+while reading response header from upstream, client: <HOST>, server:.+request: .POST
3. Enable the new filter's configuration in your /etc/fail2ban/jail.local:
[nginx-http-auth-zabbix] enabled = true port = http,https filter = nginx-http-auth-zabbix logpath = /var/log/nginx/*error.log maxretry = 5 findtime = 60 bantime = 600
4. Restart services (zabbix-server,nginx,fail2ban) to take effect.
Tested on:
- Zabbix 6.4.6
- CentOS Linux 8
- Fail2ban-Server 1.0.2
- Nginx 1.14.1
It will work for Appache too, just change the fail2ban configuration according to the official manual.
