It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-5796 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2020-5796/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5796/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-5796","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5796/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-5796","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cr82-m62c-8j4w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Nagios XI monitoring","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local authenticated user can exploit improper permission preservation to execute arbitrary PHP code with root privileges in Nagios XI.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"tenable","cpe":[{"product":"nagios_xi","vendor":"nagios"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-281","name":"Improper Preservation of Permissions"}],"description":"Improper preservation of permissions in Nagios XI 5.7.4 allows a local, low-privileged, authenticated user to weaken the permissions of files, resulting in low-privileged users being able to write to and execute arbitrary PHP code with root privileges.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Nagios XI","id":"CVE-2020-5796","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"nagios:nagios_xi","products":["nagios:nagios_xi"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in TP-Link Archer C9 A1","id":"CVE-2020-5797"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in TP-Link Archer A7 v5","id":"CVE-2020-5795"},"products":["Nagios XI"],"published":"2020-11-13","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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A local authenticated user can exploit improper permission preservation to execute arbitrary PHP code with root privileges in Nagios XI.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5796/"}
