Nagios XI < 2009R1.3C grab_request_var() Multiple XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 49776

Synopsis

A web application on the remote host has multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the Nagios XI installation on the remote host has multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.
The 'grab_request_var()' function doesn't properly sanitize user input. This affects input to multiple parameters on the 'admin/users.php' page.

A remote attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into requesting a maliciously crafted URL, resulting in arbitrary script code execution.

Solution

Upgrade to Nagios XI 2009R1.3C or later.
