Last modified

CVE-2020-36862 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.9/10 on the CVSS scale. Nagios XI versions prior to 5.6.11 contain unauthenticated vulnerabilities in the Highcharts local exporting tool. Crafted export requests could (1) inject script into exported/returned content due to insufficient output encoding (XSS), and (2) cause the server to fetch attacker-specified URLs (SSRF), potentially accessing internal network resources. EPSS estimates a 0.51% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Description

Nagios XI versions prior to 5.6.11 contain unauthenticated vulnerabilities in the Highcharts local exporting tool. Crafted export requests could (1) inject script into exported/returned content due to insufficient output encoding (XSS), and (2) cause the server to fetch attacker-specified URLs (SSRF), potentially accessing internal network resources. An unauthenticated remote attacker can leverage these issues to execute script in a user's browser when the exported content is viewed and to disclose sensitive information reachable from the export server via SSRF.
