Summary

Nagios XI versions prior to 5.4.13 contain a remote code execution vulnerability in the Component Download page. The download/import handler used unsafe command construction with attacker-controlled input and lacked sufficient validation and output encoding, allowing an authenticated user to inject commands or otherwise execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application service.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated attacker can execute arbitrary code on the Nagios XI server with the privileges of the application service, potentially leading to full compromise of the monitoring system and its data.

Recommendation

Upgrade Nagios XI to version 5.4.13 or later and restrict access to the Component Download page to trusted administrators only.
