This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2020-5791) in Nagios XI versions 5.6.0 through 5.7.3. The exploit abuses a command injection flaw in the 'admin/mibs.php' endpoint, requiring valid admin credentials to execute arbitrary commands as the web server user. The module supports both staged and command payloads, allowing for reverse shells or Meterpreter sessions. The code is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's HTTP client and command stager mixins. The exploit is weaponized, providing customizable payloads and reliable exploitation through the Metasploit framework. The only fingerprintable endpoint is '/admin/mibs.php', which is the target of the injection. The repository is structured as a single exploit module file, designed for use within the Metasploit framework.
