CVE-2012-10029 is a command injection vulnerability in the Graph Explorer component of Nagios XI Network Monitor prior to version 1.3. The flaw is present in visApi.php, where user-controlled input is not properly sanitized before being used in a system command context. An authenticated attacker can supply crafted values to parameters such as host to inject arbitrary operating system commands, leading to remote code execution in the context of the Nagios XI application.

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.
visApi.php and anomalous command execution on the host can help detect exploitation attempts.Patch, then assume compromise.
visApi.php is addressed. Validate that all affected Nagios XI instances are running a fixed version and review customizations or local patches that may reintroduce unsafe command construction. After patching, review logs and system state for signs of prior exploitation.1 valid exploit after Mallory filtered fakes, detection scripts, and README-only repos.
This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a command injection vulnerability (CVE-2012-10029) in the Graph Explorer component of Nagios XI (prior to version 1.3) on Unix platforms. The exploit requires valid credentials for an authenticated user. It works by logging into the Nagios XI web interface, retrieving necessary session tokens, and then sending a specially crafted HTTP GET request to the visApi.php endpoint, injecting arbitrary system commands via the 'host' parameter. The payload is a command string, and the exploit leverages Metasploit's command payload system. The module is written in Ruby and uses the Metasploit framework's HTTP client utilities. The structure is typical for a Metasploit exploit, with methods for checking the target, handling authentication, and executing the exploit. The main fingerprintable endpoints are the login and visApi.php URLs within the Nagios XI web application.
