CVE-2026-48553
CVE-2026-48553 · Nagios Core / XI Authenticated RCE via Custom-Variable Macro Injection
This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.
Nagios Core before 4.5.13 and Nagios XI before 2026R1.5 are vulnerable to authenticated remote code execution via custom-variable macro injection through the Nagios Remote Data Processor (NRDP). When a custom variable defined on a host, service, or contact is referenced in a shell-executed command line, an authenticated attacker with NRDP access can inject OS commands through the macro value. Exploitation requires a non-default configuration in which a custom variable is defined and referenced in a shell-executed command.
