CVE-2016-15050

Nagios XI versions prior to 5.2.4 contain a SQL injection vulnerability in the notification search functionality. User-supplied search parameters were incorporated into SQL statements without adequate parameterization or sanitation, allowing an authenticated user to manipulate database queries. Successful exploitation could disclose or modify notification data and, in some cases, impact the application database more broadly.

Summary		(es) Las versiones de Nagios XI anteriores a la 5.2.4 contienen una vulnerabilidad de inyección SQL en la funcionalidad de búsqueda de notificaciones. Los parámetros de búsqueda proporcionados por el usuario se incorporaron en sentencias SQL sin una parametrización o saneamiento adecuados, permitiendo a un usuario autenticado manipular consultas de la base de datos. La explotación exitosa podría divulgar o modificar datos de notificación y, en algunos casos, impactar la base de datos de la aplicación de manera más amplia.
