Nagios Log Server versions prior to 2024R1.3.2 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability in the account email-change workflow. A user could set their own email to an invalid value and, due to insufficient validation and authorization checks tied to email identity state, trigger inconsistent account state that granted elevated privileges or bypassed intended access controls.

Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R2 contain an improperly owned script, process_perfdata.pl, which is executed periodically as the nagios user but owned by www-data. Because the file was writable by www-data, an attacker with web server privileges could modify its contents, leading to arbitrary code execution as the nagios user when the script is next run. This improper ownership and permission configuration enables local privilege escalation.

Nagios XI versions prior to 2026R1 contain a remote code execution vulnerability in the Core Config Manager (CCM) Run Check command. Insufficient validation/escaping of parameters used to build backend command lines allows an authenticated administrator to inject shell metacharacters that are executed on the server. Successful exploitation results in arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the Nagios XI web application user and can be leveraged to gain control of the underlying host operating system.

Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R2 contain a command injection vulnerability in the WinRM plugin. Insufficient validation of user-supplied parameters allows an authenticated administrator to inject shell metacharacters that are incorporated into backend command invocations. Successful exploitation enables arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the Nagios XI web application user and can be leveraged to modify configuration, exfiltrate data, disrupt monitoring operations, or execute commands on the underlying host operating system.

Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R1.4.2 revealed API keys to users who were not authorized for API access when using Neptune themes. An authenticated user without API privileges could view another user's or their own API key value.

Nagios Network Analyzer versions prior to 2024R2.0.1 contain a vulnerability in the LDAP certificate management functionality whereby the certificate removal operation fails to apply adequate input sanitation. An authenticated administrator can trigger command execution on the underlying host in the context of the web application service, resulting in remote code execution with the service's privileges.

Nagios Network Analyzer versions prior to 2024R1 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Source Groups page (percentile calculator menu). An attacker can supply a malicious payload which is stored by the application and later rendered in the context of other users. When a victim views the affected page the injected script executes in the victim's browser context.

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 associated with a network-facing service that can accept untrusted input or load third-party components.

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.
