Nagios XI < 2026R2 OS Command Injection via mibs.php

Nagios XI before 2026R2 contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the MIB upload feature where the install_mib() function in mibs.php sanitizes uploaded filenames with an incomplete character-substitution filter that omits semicolons, pipes, and non-space IFS whitespace characters before passing them to a grep command run via exec(). An authenticated administrator can upload a MIB file with a crafted filename using tab characters to bypass the deny-list and pipe to sh via a multipart POST request to mibs.php, resulting in arbitrary OS command execution as the web server user.

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

Open Redirect Vulnerability in Nagios XI Twilio AJAX Handler

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 a open redirect vulnerability.

Nagios Core / XI CSRF via cmd.cgi Double-Submit Cookie

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.

Nagios Core CSRF via cmd.cgi

Nagios Core before 4.5.12 contains a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in cmd.cgi where the CSRF protection mechanism passes validation when the NagFormId cookie is absent. Attackers can craft a malicious cross-site POST request to execute arbitrary Nagios commands as a currently authenticated user without their knowledge or consent.

An issue with the Autodiscover component in Nagios XI 2024R1.01 allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via a crafted Dashlet.

Nagios Core / XI Authenticated RCE via Unfiltered NOTIFICATION-Family Macro Substitution

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 com_data 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 / XI Authenticated RCE via Custom-Variable Macro Injection

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 / XI DOM-based XSS via jsonquery.js

Nagios Core before 4.5.14 and Nagios XI before 2026R1.7 are vulnerable to DOM-based cross-site scripting in jsonquery.js. Unencoded JSON string values reflected from stored fields are inserted into the DOM without sanitization, allowing attackers to run arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser.

Nagios Core / XI CSRF Protection Bypass via Double-Submit Cookie

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.

Nagios Core / XI cmd.cgi Reflected XSS via NagFormId Parameter

Nagios Core before 4.5.14 and Nagios XI before 2026R1.7 are vulnerable to reflected cross-site scripting in cmd.cgi via the NagFormId parameter. An unauthenticated remote attacker can craft a malicious link that, when followed by an authenticated user, executes arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser.

Nagios XI < 2024R1.3.2 Authenticated Arbitrary File Upload Path Traversal RCE

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.

snoopy: command execution via shell metacharacters

The _httpsrequest function (Snoopy/Snoopy.class.php) in Snoopy 1.2.3 and earlier, as used in (1) ampache, (2) libphp-snoopy, (3) mahara, (4) mediamate, (5) opendb, (6) pixelpost, and possibly other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in https URLs.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Nagios before 2.11 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unknown vectors to unspecified CGI scripts, a different issue than CVE-2007-5624.

nagios: remote code execution via statuswml.cgi CGI script

statuswml.cgi in Nagios before 3.1.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the (1) ping or (2) Traceroute parameters.

nagios: XSS vulnerability

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in CGI programs in Nagios before 2.12 might allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors, a different issue than CVE-2007-5624 and CVE-2008-1360.

nagios: unspecified vuln related to CGI programs

Unspecified vulnerability in Nagios before 3.0.6 has unspecified impact and remote attack vectors related to CGI programs, "adaptive external commands," and "writing newlines and submitting service comments."

nagios: CSRF vulnerability in cmd.cgi

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in cmd.cgi in (1) Nagios 3.0.5 and (2) op5 Monitor before 4.0.1 allows remote attackers to send commands to the Nagios process, and trigger execution of arbitrary programs by this process, via unspecified HTTP requests.

nagios possible XSS in version <2.10

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Nagios 2.x before 2.10 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unknown vectors to unspecified CGI scripts.

nagios: authorization bypass via custom form or browser addon

The Nagios process in (1) Nagios before 3.0.5 and (2) op5 Monitor before 4.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to bypass authorization checks, and trigger execution of arbitrary programs by this process, via an (a) custom form or a (b) browser addon.
