What is CVE-2024-13996?
CVE-2024-13996 is a critical vulnerability in Nagios Nagios Xi, published on 30 Oct 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R1.1.3 did not invalidate all other active sessions for a user when that user's password was changed. As a result, any pre-existing sessions (including those potentially controlled by an attacker) remained valid after a credential update. This insufficient session expiration could allow continued unauthorized access to user data and actions even after a password change.
