Nagios XI vulnerabilities

Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R2 contain a command injection vulnerability in the WinRM plugin. Insufficient validation of user-supplied parameters allows an authenticated administrator to inject shell metacharacters that are incorporated into backend command invocations. Successful exploitation enables arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the Nagios XI web application user.

Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R1.2 contain a command injection vulnerability in the Docker Wizard. Insufficient validation of user-supplied input in the wizard allows an authenticated administrator to inject shell metacharacters that are incorporated into backend command invocations. Successful exploitation enables arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the Nagios XI web application user.

Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R1.2 are vulnerable to remote code execution (RCE) through its NRDP server plugins. Insufficient validation of inbound NRDP request parameters allows crafted input to reach command execution paths, enabling attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying host in the context of the web/Nagios service.

Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R1.1.3, under certain circumstances, disclose the server's Active Directory (AD) or LDAP authentication token to an authenticated user. Exposure of the server’s AD/LDAP token could allow domain-wide authentication misuse, escalation of privileges, or further compromise of network-integrated systems.

Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R1.1.3 did not invalidate all other active sessions for a user when that user's password was changed. As a result, any pre-existing sessions (including those potentially controlled by an attacker) remained valid after a credential update. This insufficient session expiration could allow continued unauthorized access to user data and actions even after a password change.

Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R1.1.2 have a missing authorization control when the 'Allow Insecure Logins' option is enabled. Under this configuration, any user can create valid login credentials for other users without proper authorization.

Nagios XI versions prior to 2012R1.3 contain a SQL injection vulnerability in the legacy Core Configuration Manager (CCM) interface. Authenticated users could manipulate SQL queries by supplying crafted input to specific CCM parameters, potentially allowing access to configuration data stored in the application database.

Nagios XI before 2026R1 is vulnerable to an authenticated command injection vulnerability within the MongoDB Database, MySQL Query, MySQL Server, Postgres Server, and Postgres Query wizards. It is possible to inject shell characters into arguments provided to the service and execute arbitrary system commands on the underlying host as the 'nagios' user.

A SQL injection vulnerability in Nagios XI versions 5.11.0 through 5.11.1 allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the ID parameter in a POST request to /nagiosxi/admin/banner_message-ajaxhelper.php.

Nagios XI version xi-5.7.5 is affected by cross-site scripting (XSS) in /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/admin/sshterm.php due to improper input sanitization. A crafted URL can steal admin session cookies or be chained with other bugs for one-click RCE.

An issue was discovered in Nagios XI before 5.9.3. The is_insecure_login_authenticated function uses an insecure timing comparison that leads to an attacker being able to bruteforce the admin password by measuring timing differences in the comparison.

An issue was discovered in twilio_ajax_handler.php in Nagios XI before 5.9.3. An attacker can force a user to visit a malicious site by using an open redirect vulnerability.

Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R1.1.3, under certain circumstances, disclose sensitive user account information (including API keys and hashed passwords) to authenticated users who should not have access to that data. Exposure of API keys or password hashes could lead to account compromise, abuse of API privileges, or offline cracking attempts. CVE-2024-13995 addresses a similar vulnerability.

Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R1.1.3 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability in which an authenticated administrator could leverage the Migrate Server feature to obtain root privileges on the underlying XI host. By abusing the migration workflow, an admin-level attacker could execute actions outside the intended security scope of the application, resulting in full control of the operating system.

Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R1.1 are vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) when a user visits the 'missing page' (404) page after following a link from another website. The vulnerable component, page-missing.php, fails to properly validate or escape user-supplied input, allowing an attacker to craft a malicious link that, when visited by a victim, executes arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser within the Nagios XI domain.

Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R2 contain an improperly owned script, process_perfdata.pl, which is executed periodically as the nagios user but owned by www-data. Because the file was writable by www-data, an attacker with web server privileges could modify its contents, leading to arbitrary code execution as the nagios user when the script is next run. This improper ownership and permission configuration enables local privilege escalation.

Remote code execution vulnerability in Nagios XI versions prior to 2026R1 in the Core Config Manager (CCM) Run Check command. Insufficient validation/escaping of parameters used to build backend command lines allows an authenticated administrator to inject shell metacharacters that are executed on the server. Successful exploitation results in arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the Nagios XI web application user and can be leveraged to gain control of the underlying host operating system.

Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R1.4.2 revealed API keys to users who were not authorized for API access when using Neptune themes. An authenticated user without API privileges could view another user's or their own API key value.

Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R1.4.2 configure some systemd unit files with overly permissive permissions. In particular, the nagios.service unit had unnecessary executable permissions. Overly permissive permissions can broaden local attack surface, enabling unintended execution behaviors or abuse of service operations.

Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R1.4.2 contain a remote code execution vulnerability in the Business Process Intelligence (BPI) component. Insufficient validation and sanitization of administrator-controlled BPI configuration parameters (notably bpi_logfile and bpi_configfile) allow an authenticated administrative user to cause the product to create or overwrite files within the webroot and subsequently edit them via the BPI configuration editor. When such files carry executable extensions and are served by the web application, arbitrary code may be executed in the context of the web application user.

Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R1.0.1 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability in the System Profile component. Due to improper access controls and unsafe handling of exported/imported profile data and operations, an authenticated administrator could exploit this vulnerability to execute actions on the underlying XI host outside the application's security scope.

Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R1.3.2 contain a remote command execution vulnerability in the WinRM Configuration Wizard. Insufficient validation of user-supplied input allows an authenticated administrator to inject shell metacharacters that are incorporated into backend command invocations. Successful exploitation enables arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the Nagios XI web application user.

Nagios XI before 2024R1.2.2 contains a host header injection vulnerability. The application trusts the user-supplied HTTP Host header when constructing absolute URLs without sufficient validation. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can supply a crafted Host header to poison generated links or responses, which may facilitate phishing, account recovery link hijacking, and web cache poisoning.

Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R1.2 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability related to NagVis configuration handling (nagvis.conf). An authenticated user could manipulate NagVis configuration data or leverage insufficiently validated configuration settings to obtain elevated privileges on the Nagios XI system.

Nagios XI versions prior to 5.7.5 contain a SQL injection vulnerability in the SNMP Trap Interface edit page. Exploitation requires an account with administrative privileges to access the affected interface. A user with administrative access could supply crafted input that is not properly sanitized, allowing SQL injection that may lead to unauthorized disclosure or modification of application data or execution of arbitrary SQL commands against the backend database.

Nagios XI versions prior to 5.7.3 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability in the getprofile.sh helper script. The script performed profile retrieval and initialization routines using insecure file/command handling and insufficient validation of attacker-controlled inputs, and in some deployments executed with elevated privileges. A local attacker with low-level access could exploit these weaknesses to cause the script to execute arbitrary commands or modify privileged files, resulting in privilege escalation.

Nagios XI versions prior to 5.7.3 contain a command injection vulnerability in the report PDF download/export functionality. User-supplied values used in the PDF generation pipeline or the wrapper that invokes offline/pdf helper utilities were insufficiently validated or improperly escaped, allowing an authenticated attacker who can trigger PDF exports to inject shell metacharacters or arguments.
