Metric Description
Value Description
Attack vector Network AV The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers). An example of a network attack is an attacker causing a denial of service by sending a specially crafted TCP packet across a wide area network (e.g., CVE-2004-0230). Attack Complexity Low AC The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system. Privileges Required High PR The attacker requires privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable system allowing full access to the vulnerable system’s settings and files. User Interaction None UI The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker. Examples include: a remote attacker is able to send packets to a target system a locally authenticated attacker executes code to elevate privileges Scope Unchanged S An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In the case of a vulnerability in a virtualized environment, an exploited vulnerability in one guest instance would not affect neighboring guest instances. Confidentiality High C There is total information disclosure, resulting in all data on the system being revealed to the attacker, or there is a possibility of the attacker gaining control over confidential data. Integrity High I There is a total compromise of system integrity. There is a complete loss of system protection, resulting in the attacker being able to modify any file on the target system. Availability High A There is a total shutdown of the affected resource. The attacker can deny access to the system or data, potentially causing significant loss to the organization.

'Name' => 'Nagios XI Chained Remote Code Execution',
'Description' => %q{
This module exploits a few different vulnerabilities in Nagios XI 5.2.6-5.4.12 to gain remote root access.
The steps are:
1. Issue a POST request to /nagiosql/admin/settings.php which sets the database user to root.
2. SQLi on /nagiosql/admin/helpedit.php allows us to enumerate API keys.
3. The API keys are then used to add an administrative user.
4. An authenticated session is established with the newly added user
5. Command Injection on /nagiosxi/backend/index.php allows us to execute the payload with nopasswd sudo,
giving us a root shell.
6. Remove the added admin user and reset the database user.
