Nagios XI < 2012R1.3 Authenticated SQL Injection in Legacy CCM
Nagios XI versions prior to 2012R1.3 contain a SQL injection vulnerability in the legacy Core Configuration Manager (CCM) interface. Authenticated users could manipulate SQL queries by supplying crafted input to specific CCM parameters, potentially allowing access to configuration data stored in the application database. Successful exploitation could disclose or modify notification data and, in some cases, impact the application database more broadly.
