Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R1.2 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability related to NagVis configuration handling (nagvis.conf). An authenticated user could manipulate NagVis configuration data or leverage insufficiently validated configuration settings to obtain elevated privileges on the Nagios XI system.
Weakness
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
