 Description   

Thanks to Cory Marsh for pointing to this issue.

It is possible to receive php errors on the trigger expressions test page:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in include/triggers.inc.php(2257) : eval()'d code on line 1

    Undefined variable: result [tr_testexpr.php:147 ? evalExpressionData() in include/triggers.inc.php:2259]
    Undefined variable: result [tr_testexpr.php:167 ? evalExpressionData() in include/triggers.inc.php:2259]

How to reproduce:

  • open trigger expression test page with trigger function like {Zabbix server:agent.hostname.last()} (the value type of the item should be character, text or log)
  • enter value 
    {#DEF}*{hostname:mysql.primary_master.last($g=[`echo 41 > /tmp/h2.txt`];}#)}
  • press [Test] button

Possible solutions:

  1. to forbid character data for all value types
  2. to rewrite trigger expression evaluation algorythm without using eval() function

latest versions of 2.0, 2.2 branches contains regular expression based check to disallow any word character.
versions 3.0, 3.2 contains rewritten trigger parser which allow word characters in request but this is required by trigger, user can define it`s own macro and functions.
Changes made:

  • 2.0, 2.2 none
  • 3.0, 3.2 fixed "Undefined index" message. probably $_POST instead of $_REQUEST should be used for tr_testexpr.php

Fixed in: svn://svn.zabbix.com/branches/dev/ZBX-8997 r66319
