Summary

Nagios XI versions prior to 2012R1.6 contain a shell command injection vulnerability in the Auto-Discovery tool. User-controlled input is passed to a shell without adequate sanitation or argument quoting, allowing an authenticated user with access to discovery functionality to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the application service.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated attacker can execute arbitrary commands in the context of the application service, potentially leading to full host compromise.

Recommendation

Upgrade Nagios XI to version 2012R1.6 or later and restrict access to the Auto-Discovery functionality to trusted administrators only.
