Summary

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.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated attacker can execute arbitrary shell commands with the privileges of the application service, potentially leading to host compromise.

Recommendation

Upgrade Nagios XI to version 5.7.3 or later and restrict PDF export capability to trusted users.
