Nagios XI 5.7.3 improperly neutralizes argument delimiters in a command. A remote authenticated administrator can exploit the flaw to write arbitrary files and ultimately execute code with the privileges of the Apache user.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2020-5792) in Nagios XI versions 5.5.0 through 5.7.3. The exploit requires valid admin credentials for Nagios XI. The module works by uploading a simple PHP web shell to the target via a vulnerable endpoint (/includes/components/nxti/index.php), then executing arbitrary commands by sending HTTP GET requests to the uploaded shell in /includes/components/autodiscovery/jobs/. The exploit supports both command execution and staged payloads (such as meterpreter reverse shells), and is weaponized for use within the Metasploit framework. The code is written in Ruby and leverages several Metasploit mixins for HTTP interaction, command staging, and file cleanup. The main entry point is the provided Ruby file, which contains all exploit logic.
