AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N

Nagios Core before 4.5.13 and Nagios XI before 2026R1.5 contains a CSRF vulnerability in cmd.cgi. When no Cookie header is present, the double-submit cookie protection can be bypassed by supplying matching NagFormId and nagFormId values in the POST body, allowing a cross-site request to execute Nagios commands as a currently authenticated user.

AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Nagios Core before 4.5.14 and Nagios XI before 2026R1.7 are vulnerable to authenticated remote code execution via unfiltered NOTIFICATION-family macro substitution through the comdata parameter. When a notification command references $NOTIFICATIONCOMMENT$ or $NOTIFICATIONAUTHOR$ in a shell-reachable position, authenticated UI users can run arbitrary commands as the nagios user. Exploitation requires a non-default configuration in which a notification command references these macros in a shell-executed command line.

Nagios Core before 4.5.13 and Nagios XI before 2026R1.5 are vulnerable to authenticated remote code execution via custom-variable macro injection through the Nagios Remote Data Processor (NRDP). When a custom variable defined on a host, service, or contact is referenced in a shell-executed command line, an authenticated attacker with NRDP access can inject OS commands through the macro value. Exploitation requires a non-default configuration in which a custom variable is defined and referenced in a shell-executed command.

Nagios Core before 4.5.14 and Nagios XI before 2026R1.7 contain a cross-site request forgery protection bypass via a self-supplied double-submit cookie. An attacker can supply matching cookie and request parameter values to bypass CSRF protection, enabling unauthenticated attackers to run commands as authorized users via malicious links.

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Nagios XI 2024R2. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of a logged-in user's session via a specially crafted URL. The issue resides in a web component responsible for rendering performance-related data.

Nagios XI < 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.

Nagios XI < 2024R1.3.2 contains a remote code execution vulnerability by chaining two flaws: an arbitrary file upload and a path traversal in the Core Config Snapshots interface. The issue arises from insufficient validation of file paths and extensions during MIB upload and snapshot rename operations. Exploitation results in the placement of attacker-controlled PHP files in a web-accessible directory, executed as the www-data user.

Nagios XI versions prior to 2026R1 contain a remote code execution vulnerability 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.

Remedy

Nagios addresses this vulnerability as "Nagios XI was vulnerable to Remote Code Execution via the Run Check command in the CCM" and "Fixed an RCE vulnerability with the Run Check Command in the CCM."

Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R1 contain a missing access control vulnerability via the Web SSH Terminal. A remote, low-privileged attacker could access or interact with the terminal interface without sufficient authorization, potentially allowing unauthorized command execution or disclosure of sensitive information.

Remedy

Nagios addresses this vulnerability as "It was discovered that the Web SSH Terminal in Nagios XI was missing access controls" and "Fixed some missing access controls in the Nagios XI 5 API."
