EPSS · scored 2026-10-27

Nagios Core before 4.5.14 and Nagios XI before 2026R1.7 are vulnerable to authenticated remote code execution via unfiltered NOTIFICATION-family macro substitution through the com_data parameter. When a notification command references $NOTIFICATIONCOMMENT$ or $NOTIFICATIONAUTHOR$ in a shell-reachable position, authenticated UI users can run arbitrary commands as the nagios user. Exploitation requires a non-default configuration in which a notification command references these macros in a shell-executed command line.
