CVE-2008-5027

Published: 10 November 2008

The Nagios process in (1) Nagios before 3.0.5 and (2) op5 Monitor before 4.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to bypass authorization checks, and trigger execution of arbitrary programs by this process, via an (a) custom form or a (b) browser addon.

Notes

AuthorNote
mdeslaur
Nagios 1.x doesn't have the CHANGE commands, so authenticated users
wouldn't be able to trigger arbitrary programs. They could bypass
authorization checks by submitting commands with linefeeds though.
