An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2018-8733 exists.\n\nAffected product: Nagios Nagios Xi. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8733/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8733/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-8733","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8733/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-8733","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gmp2-vm3x-mcpx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Nagios XI monitoring","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can bypass authentication in Nagios XI to modify configurations and exploit SQL injection, leading to privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"nagios_xi","vendor":"nagios"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-89","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command"}],"description":"Authentication bypass vulnerability in the core config manager in Nagios XI 5.2.x through 5.4.x before 5.4.13 allows an unauthenticated attacker to make configuration changes and leverage an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":5,"first_seen":"2016-03-06","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":2,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2016-03-06","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/linux/http/nagios_xi_chained_rce","stars":null,"title":"Nagios XI Chained Remote Code Execution"},{"date":"2018-04-17","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/linux/http/nagios_xi_chained_rce_2_electric_boogaloo","stars":null,"title":"Nagios XI Chained Remote Code Execution"},{"date":"2018-04-30","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"44560","stars":null,"title":"Nagios XI 5.2.6 \u003c 5.2.9 / 5.3 / 5.4 - Chained Remote Root"},{"date":"2018-04-30","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"44560","stars":null,"title":"Nagios XI 5.2.6 \u003c 5.2.9 / 5.3 / 5.4 - Chained Remote Root"},{"date":"2018-07-02","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"44969","stars":null,"title":"Nagios XI 5.2.6-5.4.12 - Chained Remote Code Execution (Metasploit)"},{"date":"2018-07-02","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"44969","stars":null,"title":"Nagios XI 5.2.6-5.4.12 - Chained Remote Code Execution (Metasploit)"},{"date":"2018-07-02","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"44969","stars":null,"title":"Nagios XI 5.2.6-5.4.12 - Chained Remote Code Execution (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-8733","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"nagios:nagios_xi","products":["nagios:nagios_xi"],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-8734"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-8732"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-04-18","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Nagios XI OS Command Injection","id":"CVE-2021-25296","kev_date_added":"2022-01-18","published":"2021-02-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Nagios XI OS Command Injection","id":"CVE-2021-25297","kev_date_added":"2022-01-18","published":"2021-02-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Nagios XI OS Command Injection","id":"CVE-2021-25298","kev_date_added":"2022-01-18","published":"2021-02-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Nagios XI Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2019-15949","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2019-09-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-24401","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-26"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-24402","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-26"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-48084","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-14"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can bypass authentication in Nagios XI to modify configurations and exploit SQL injection, leading to privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8733/"}
