CVE-2020-36863
Nagios XI versions prior to 5.7.2 allow PHP files to be uploaded to the Audio Import directory and executed from that location. The upload handler did not properly restrict file types or enforce storage outside of the webroot, and the web server permitted execution within the upload directory. An authenticated attacker with access to the audio import feature could upload a crafted PHP file and then request it to achieve remote code execution with the privileges of the application service.

- Explotación
T1210Exploitation of Remote Serviceslateral movement85 % - Impacto principal
T1505.003Web Shellpersistence90 % - Impacto secundario
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution85 %
Acceso remoto autenticado (PR:L) a servicio expuesto (AV:N) sin interacción del usuario. Upload de PHP en directorio web ejecutable permite web shell y ejecución de código arbitrario con privilegios del servicio.
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
