It appears that Nagios XI, the network monitoring software, had a bit of a bug problem. And no, not the type you can just squash with your shoe! These bugs were of the security variety, potentially leading to privilege escalation and information disclosure. Not exactly the kind of bugs you want buzzing around your network.
There were four pesky security flaws, tracked from CVE-2023-40931 through to CVE-2023-40934, that were sticking their noses where they didn’t belong, affecting Nagios XI versions 5.11.1 and lower. Think of them like the Beatles of cyber bugs, but less “Help!” and more “Help…my network has been compromised!”
In one of those rare, beautiful examples of responsible disclosure, the said vulnerabilities were aired out on August 4, 2023. By September 11 of the same year, Nagios XI Ctrl+Alt+Del-ed these flaws with some much-needed patching. So, now you can sleep a little easier, and the only bugs you’ll need to worry about are the kind that get attracted to your night light – and maybe the occasional spider.
Despite some initial jitters due to a quartet of security flaws that could lead to privilege escalation and information disclosure, the team at Nagios XI has managed to patch things up. Following a responsible disclosure in August 2023, the software’s security holes have been plugged by September of the same year. The security vulnerabilities spanned from CVE-2023-40931 to CVE-2023-40934 and impacted versions 5.11.1 and lower. Although the issue might have hit a few sour notes, Nagios XI faced the music and quickly orchestrated a solution to keep its users’ networks safe, sound, and bug-free.
