CVE-2026-24893
openITCOCKPIT is an open source monitoring tool built for different monitoring engines. openITCOCKPIT Community Edition prior to version 5.5.2 contains a command injection vulnerability that allows an authenticated user with permission to add or modify hosts to execute arbitrary OS commands on the monitoring backend. The vulnerability arises because user-controlled host attributes (specifically the host address) are expanded into monitoring command templates without validation, escaping, or quoting. These templates are later executed by the monitoring engine (Nagios/Icinga) via a shell, resulting in remote code execution. Version 5.5.2 patches the issue.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

La vulnerabilidad surge porque los atributos de host controlados por el usuario (específicamente la dirección del host) se expanden en plantillas de comandos de monitorización sin validación, escape o entrecomillado. Estas plantillas son posteriormente ejecutadas por el motor de monitorización (Nagios/Icinga) a través de un shell, lo que resulta en ejecución remota de código. La versión 5.5.2 corrige el problema."
