Description

Nagios XI versions prior to 2012R1.6 contain a shell command injection vulnerability in the Auto-Discovery tool. User-controlled input is passed to a shell without adequate sanitation or argument quoting, allowing an authenticated user with access to discovery functionality to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the application service.
