CVE-2026-119742 PUBLISHED

Nagios XI < 2026R2 OS Command Injection via mibs.php

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 30.10.2026 Published: 03.11.2026 Updated: 03.11.2026

Nagios XI before 2026R2 contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the MIB upload feature where the install_mib() function in mibs.php sanitizes uploaded filenames with an incomplete character-substitution filter that omits semicolons, pipes, and non-space IFS whitespace characters before passing them to a grep command run via exec(). An authenticated administrator can upload a MIB file with a crafted filename using tab characters to bypass the deny-list and pipe to sh via a multipart POST request to mibs.php, resulting in arbitrary OS command execution as the web server user.
