CVE-2024-24401Network attack vector

Arbitrary code execution via Favorites SQL injection

Published Feb 26, 2024 · Updated Aug 29, 2024

SQL injection in the Favorites component of Nagios XI 2024R1.0.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through crafted input. Nagios identifies the locus as the Favorites component, but public material does not disclose the affected parameter or unsafe SQL construction. The unauthenticated network path requires no user interaction; successful exploitation grants code execution with access to application data and service control.
