Nagios Core before 4.5.14 and Nagios XI before 2026R1.7 contain a cross-site request forgery protection bypass via a self-supplied double-submit cookie. An attacker can supply matching cookie and request parameter values to bypass CSRF protection, enabling unauthenticated attackers to run commands as authorized users via malicious links.

Exploitation none (CISA Vulnrichment) · Automatable no (CISA Vulnrichment) · Technical impact partial (CISA Vulnrichment). Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it: high means the affected system is essential to your organisation's mission, or its compromise could cause irreversible harm to people.
