CVE-2023-47409 affects Nagios XI's migration process. Migration job files stored encrypted Ansible vault data containing credentials for remote hosts, but the vault passwords were generated predictably using PHP uniqid(). The advisory states that these encrypted migration job files were not deleted after completion, allowing an attacker with local root access on the Nagios XI server to recover the files and brute-force the vault passwords offline. Successful recovery exposes privileged credentials for remote machines involved in migration operations.
