The vulnerability arises because user-controlled host attributes (specifically the host address) are expanded into monitoring command templates without validation, escaping, or quoting. These templates are later executed by the monitoring engine (Nagios/Icinga) via a shell, resulting in remote code execution. Version 5.5.2 patches the issue.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `openitcockpit < 5.5.2`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade past the affected range:\n\n- `openitcockpit 5.5.2`","depth":"twilight","depthScore":49,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":48.4,"likelihood":0.3,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
