This module exploits CVE-2020-5791, an OS command injection vulnerability in `admin/mibs.php` that enables an authenticated user with admin privileges to achieve remote code execution as either the `apache` user or the `www-data` user on NagiosXI version 5.6.0 to 5.7.3 inclusive (exact user depends on the version of NagiosXI installed as well as the OS its installed on). Valid credentials for a Nagios XI admin user are required. This module has been successfully tested against Nagios XI 5.7.3 running on CentOS 7.

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use exploit/linux/http/nagios_xi_mibs_authenticated_rce
msf exploit(nagios_xi_mibs_authenticated_rce) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(nagios_xi_mibs_authenticated_rce) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(nagios_xi_mibs_authenticated_rce) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(nagios_xi_mibs_authenticated_rce) > exploit
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
