CVE-2024-13997Network attack vector

Host root escalation via Migrate Server workflow

Published Nov 3, 2025 · Updated Nov 3, 2025

Privilege escalation in Nagios XI before 2024R1.1.3 allows remote authenticated users with administrator access to obtain host root privileges. The Migrate Server workflow executes actions beyond the application's intended security scope, but published sources do not identify the unchecked operation or input. Administrator access is required, and successful exploitation grants full control of the underlying XI host operating system.
