Description

Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R1.0.1 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability in the System Profile component. The System Profile feature is an administrative diagnostic/configuration capability. Due to improper access controls and unsafe handling of exported/imported profile data and operations, an authenticated administrator could exploit this vulnerability to execute actions on the underlying XI host outside the application's security scope. Successful exploitation may allow an administrator to obtain root privileges on the XI server.
