CVE-2026-52817
Linuxfabrik Monitoring Plugins provides monitoring plugins for Icinga, Nagios, and related systems. Prior to version 5.1.0, the shipped assets/sudoers/Debian.sudoers policy allowed the nagios or icinga account to execute /usr/bin/apt-get as root without restricting its arguments. An attacker who already controls that monitoring account can supply the APT::Update::Pre-Invoke option to execute an arbitrary command while apt-get runs with root privileges, resulting in a root shell and complete compromise of the host. The vulnerable rule supports the check-plugins/deb-updates/deb-updates plugin, but it authorized arbitrary apt-get argument sequences rather than only the required apt-get update --quiet 2 command. This issue is fixed in version 5.1.0.

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation95 % - Impacto principal
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution90 % - Impacto secundario
T1548.004Elevated Execution with Promptprivilege escalation85 %
Acceso local (AV:L) con privilegios elevados (PR:H) permite a un atacante con control de cuenta monitoreo ejecutar comandos arbitrarios como root mediante argumentos no validados en sudoers, escalando hacia shell completo.
