CVE-2023-53688

Nagios XI versions prior to 5.11.3 are vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) and cross-site request forgery (CSRF) via the Hypermap Replay component. An attacker can submit crafted input that is not properly validated or escaped, allowing injection of malicious script that executes in the context of a victim's browser (XSS). Additionally, the component does not enforce sufficient anti-CSRF protections on state-changing operations, enabling an attacker to induce authenticated users to perform unwanted actions.

Summary		(es) Las versiones de Nagios XI anteriores a la 5.11.3 son vulnerables a cross-site scripting (XSS) y Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) a través del componente Hypermap Replay. Un atacante puede enviar una entrada manipulada que no está correctamente validada o escapada, permitiendo la inyección de scripts maliciosos que se ejecutan en el contexto del navegador de una víctima (XSS). Además, el componente no aplica protecciones anti-CSRF suficientes en operaciones que cambian el estado, lo que permite a un atacante inducir a usuarios autenticados a realizar acciones no deseadas.
