Nagios NRPE 3.2.1 has Insufficient Filtering because, for example, nasty_metachars interprets \n as the character \ and the character n (not as the \n newline sequence). This can cause command injection.
Nagios NRPE 3.2.1 has a Heap-Based Buffer Overflow, as demonstrated by interpretation of a small negative number as a large positive number during a bzero call.
Nagios Log Server 2.1.3 allows XSS by visiting /profile and entering a crafted name field that is mishandled on the /admin/users page. Any malicious user with limited access can store an XSS payload in his Name. When any admin views this, the XSS is triggered.
UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following vulnerability in the cronjob shipped with nagios of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11; openSUSE Factory allows local attackers to cause cause DoS or potentially escalate privileges by winning a race. This issue affects: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 nagios version 3.5.1-5.27 and prior versions. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 nagios version 3.0.6-1.25.36.3.1 and prior versions. openSUSE Factory nagios version 4.4.5-2.1 and prior versions.
In Nagios XI 5.6.9, an authenticated user is able to execute arbitrary OS commands via shell metacharacters in the id parameter to schedulereport.php, in the context of the web-server user account.
In Nagios XI 5.6.9, XSS exists via the nocscreenapi.php host, hostgroup, or servicegroup parameter, or the schedulereport.php hour or frequency parameter. Any authenticated user can attack the admin user.
Nagios XI before 5.6.6 allows remote command execution as root. The exploit requires access to the server as the nagios user, or access as the admin user via the web interface. The getprofile.sh script, invoked by downloading a system profile (profile.php?cmd=download), is executed as root via a passwordless sudo entry; the script executes check_plugin, which is owned by the nagios user. A user logged into Nagios XI with permissions to modify plugins, or the nagios user on the server, can modify the check_plugin executable and insert malicious commands to execute as root.
