Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R1.1.3 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability in which an authenticated administrator could leverage the Migrate Server feature to obtain root privileges on the underlying XI host. By abusing the migration workflow, an admin-level attacker could execute actions outside the intended security scope of the application, resulting in full control of the operating system.

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 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 XI versions prior to 2024R1.4.2 contain a remote code execution vulnerability in the Business Process Intelligence (BPI) component. Insufficient validation and sanitization of administrator-controlled BPI configuration parameters (notably bpi_logfile and bpi_configfile) allow an authenticated administrative user to cause the product to create or overwrite files within the webroot and subsequently edit them via the BPI configuration editor. When such files carry executable extensions and are served by the web application, arbitrary code may be executed in the context of the web application user. Successful exploitation results in arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the Nagios XI web application user and can be leveraged to gain further control of the underlying host operating system.

Nagios Log Server versions prior to 2026R1.0.1 contain an authenticated command injection vulnerability in the experimental 'Natural Language Queries' feature. When this feature is configured, certain user-controlled settings—including model selection and connection parameters—are read from the global configuration and concatenated into a shell command that is 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 in these fields to inject additional shell commands, resulting in arbitrary command execution as the 'www-data' user and compromise of the Log Server host.

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.

An issue was discovered in Nagios XI 5.8.5. In the Custom Includes section of the Admin panel, an administrator can upload files with arbitrary extensions as long as the MIME type corresponds to an image. Therefore it is possible to upload a crafted PHP script to achieve remote command execution.

Nagios XI versions prior to 5.7.5 contain a SQL injection vulnerability in the SNMP Trap Interface edit page. Exploitation requires an account with administrative privileges to access the affected interface. A user with administrative access could supply crafted input that is not properly sanitized, allowing SQL injection that may lead to unauthorized disclosure or modification of application data or execution of arbitrary SQL commands against the backend database.

Nagios XI versions prior to 5.6.14 contain a post-authentication SQL injection vulnerability in the SNMP Trap Interface page. Exploitation requires an account with administrative privileges to access the affected interface. A user with administrative access could supply crafted input that is not properly sanitized, allowing SQL injection that may lead to unauthorized disclosure or modification of application data or execution of arbitrary SQL commands against the backend database.

An issue was discovered in the Manage Plugins page in Nagios XI before 5.8.0. Because the line-ending conversion feature is mishandled during a plugin upload, a remote, authenticated admin user can execute operating-system commands.

NagiosXI 5.6.11 is affected by a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability. An authenticated nagiosadmin user can inject additional commands into a request. NOTE: the vendor disputes whether the CVE and its references are actionable because all technical details are omitted, and the only option is to pay for a subscription service where technical details may be disclosed at an unspecified later time

An authenticated user could manipulate NagVis configuration data or leverage insufficiently validated configuration settings to obtain elevated privileges on the Nagios XI system.

Execution with Unnecessary Privileges in Nagios Fusion 4.1.8 and earlier allows for Privilege Escalation as nagios via installation of a malicious component containing PHP code.

Nagios Core through 4.3.4 initially executes /usr/sbin/nagios as root but supports configuration options in which this file is owned by a non-root account (and similarly can have nagios.cfg owned by a non-root account), which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging access to this non-root account.

Nagios XI before version 5.8.5 is vulnerable to local privilege escalation because xi-sys.cfg is being imported from the var directory for some scripts with elevated permissions.

Dell CloudLink, versions prior to 8.1.1, contain a vulnerability where a privileged user with known password can run CLI Escape Vulnerability to gain control of system.

An issue in OrangeHRM v.5.7 allows an attacker to escalate privileges via UserService.php and the checkForOldHash function. Authentication decisions may be made via PHP loose-equality comparisons if a specific MD5 value is present in the credential store. NOTE: this is disputed by the Supplier because an adversary has no way to place the specific MD5 value into the credential store (unless they already have full privileges) and because the specific MD5 value would not realistically be present otherwise.

Sulu is an open-source PHP content management system based on the Symfony framework. In affected versions Sulu users who have access to any subset of the admin UI are able to elevate their privilege. Over the API it was possible for them to give themselves permissions to areas which they did not already had. This issue was introduced in 2.0.0-RC1 with the new ProfileController putAction. The versions have been patched in 2.2.18, 2.3.8 and 2.4.0. For users unable to upgrade the only known workaround is to apply a patch to the ProfileController manually.

A broken access control vulnerability exists in Serv-U which when exploited, gives a malicious actor the ability to create a system admin user and execute arbitrary code as a privileged account via domain admin or group admin privileges. This issue requires administrative privileges to abuse. On Windows deployments, the risk is scored as a medium because services frequently run under less-privileged service accounts by default.

A non-primary administrator user with admin rights to the web interface but without shell access permissions can display configuration of the device including the master admin password. This vulnerability also allows the user to give themselves shell access with the root gid.

Ghost is a Node.js content management system. An error in the implementation of the limits service between versions 4.0.0 and 4.9.4 allows all authenticated users (including contributors) to view admin-level API keys via the integrations API endpoint, leading to a privilege escalation vulnerability. This issue is patched in Ghost version 4.10.0. As a workaround, disable all non-Administrator accounts to prevent API access. It is highly recommended to regenerate all API keys after patching or applying the workaround.
