CVE-2025-34298

Nagios Log Server versions prior to 2026R1.0.1 contain an authenticated command injection vulnerability in the experimental 'Natural Language Queries' feature. When configured, certain user-controlled settings, including model selection and connection parameters, are read from the global configuration and concatenated into a shell command executed via shell_exec() without proper input handling or command-line argument sanitation. An authenticated user with access to the 'Global Settings' page can supply crafted values to inject additional shell commands, resulting in arbitrary command execution as the 'www-data' user and compromise of the Log Server host.

Nagios Log Server versions prior to 2024R1.3.1 contain a code injection vulnerability where malformed dashboard ID values are not properly validated before being forwarded to an internal API. An attacker able to supply crafted dashboard ID values can cause the system to execute attacker-controlled data, leading to arbitrary code execution in the context of the Log Server process.

Nagios Log Server versions prior to 2024R2.0.3 contain an execution with unnecessary privileges vulnerability as it runs its embedded Logstash process as the root user. If an attacker is able to compromise the Logstash process - for example by exploiting an insecure plugin, pipeline configuration injection, or a vulnerability in input parsing - the attacker could execute code with root privileges, resulting in full system compromise. The Logstash service has been altered to run as the lower-privileged 'nagios' user to reduce this risk.

Vulnerability in Nagios Log Server before version 2024R2.0.2 affects the cluster manager, which requests sensitive credentials from peer nodes over an unencrypted channel even when SSL/TLS is enabled. An attacker on the network path can intercept credentials in transit.

Nagios Log Server versions prior to 2026R1.0.1 are vulnerable to local privilege escalation due to a combination of sudo misconfiguration and group-writable application directories. The 'www-data' user is a member of the 'nagios' group, which has write access to '/usr/local/nagioslogserver/scripts', while several scripts in this directory are owned by root and may be executed via sudo without a password. A local attacker running as 'www-data' can move one of these root-owned scripts to a backup name and create a replacement script with attacker-controlled content at the original path, then invoke it with sudo. This allows arbitrary commands to be executed with root privileges, providing full compromise of the underlying operating system.

Nagios Log Server versions prior to 2024R2.0.3 contain an incorrect authorization vulnerability that allows non-administrator users to delete global dashboards. The application did not correctly enforce authorization checks for the global dashboard deletion workflow, enabling lower-privileged users to remove dashboards that affect other users or the overall monitoring UI.

In Nagios Log Server versions prior to 2024R2.0.3, when a user's configured default dashboard is deleted, the application does not reliably fall back to an empty, default dashboard. In some implementations this can result in an unexpected dashboard being presented as the user's default view.

Nagios Log Server versions prior to 2024R2.0.2 contain a vulnerability in the AD/LDAP user import functionality as it fails to obfuscate the password field during import. As a result, the plaintext password supplied for imported accounts may be exposed in the user interface, logs, or other diagnostic output.

Nagios Log Server versions prior to 2024R1.0.2 contain a local privilege escalation vulnerability that allows an attacker who could execute commands as the Apache web user (or the backend shell user) to escalate to root on the host.
