FKIE_CVE-2026-24893

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-04-14 21:16 - Updated: 2026-07-25 11:10
Summary
openITCOCKPIT is an open source monitoring tool built for different monitoring engines. openITCOCKPIT Community Edition prior to version 5.5.2 contains a command injection vulnerability that allows an authenticated user with permission to add or modify hosts to execute arbitrary OS commands on the monitoring backend. The vulnerability arises because user-controlled host attributes (specifically the host address) are expanded into monitoring command templates without validation, escaping, or quoting. These templates are later executed by the monitoring engine (Nagios/Icinga) via a shell, resulting in remote code execution. Version 5.5.2 patches the issue.

La vulnerabilidad surge porque los atributos de host controlados por el usuario (espec\u00edficamente la direcci\u00f3n del host) se expanden en plantillas de comandos de monitorizaci\u00f3n sin validaci\u00f3n, escape o entrecomillado. Estas plantillas son posteriormente ejecutadas por el motor de monitorizaci\u00f3n (Nagios/Icinga) a trav\u00e9s de un shell, lo que resulta en ejecuci\u00f3n remota de c\u00f3digo. La versi\u00f3n 5.5.2 corrige el problema."
