The wato component in Check_MK before 1.2.4p4 and 1.2.5 before 1.2.5i4 uses the pickle Python module unsafely, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted serialized object, related to an automation URL.

The version of Check_MK running on the remote web server is 1.2.4 prior to 1.2.4p4 or 1.2.5 prior to 1.2.5i4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple cross-site script (XSS) vulnerabilities exist     in the multisite component, specifically within the     render_status_icons() function in file htmllib.py and     the ajax_action() function in file actions.py, due to     improper validation of user-supplied input before     returning it to users. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit these, via a specially crafted     request, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's     browser session. (CVE-2014-5338)

  - A flaw exists related to row selections that allows an     authenticated, remote attacker to write Check_MK     configuration (.mk) files to arbitrary locations.
    (CVE-2014-5339)

  - A flaw exists in the wato component due to using the     insecure Python pickel API calls. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially     crafted serialized object, to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2014-5340)
