CVE-2025-34323 Details
Description
Nagios Log Server versions prior to 2026R1.0.1 are vulnerable to local privilege escalation due to a combination of sudo misconfiguration and group-writable application directories. The 'www-data' user is a member of the 'nagios' group, which has write access to '/usr/local/nagioslogserver/scripts', while several scripts in this directory are owned by root and may be executed via sudo without a password. A local attacker running as 'www-data' can move one of these root-owned scripts to a backup name and create a replacement script with attacker-controlled content at the original path, then invoke it with sudo. This allows arbitrary commands to be executed with root privileges, providing full compromise of the underlying operating system.
A local privilege escalation vulnerability has been identified in Nagios Log Server versions prior to 2026R1.0.1. This issue arises from an unsafe interaction between sudo rules and file system permissions. The web server account is given passwordless sudo access to certain maintenance scripts, while also being part of a group that can write to the directory containing those scripts. A local attacker, using the web server user, can replace one of the allowed scripts with a malicious program and execute it via sudo, leading to arbitrary code execution with root privileges.
Users are advised to upgrade to Nagios Log Server version 2026R1.0.1 or later.
