## Overview

Nagios XI versions prior to 2024R1.3.2 contain a remote command execution vulnerability in the WinRM Configuration Wizard. Insufficient validation of user-supplied input allows an authenticated administrator to inject shell metacharacters that are incorporated into backend command invocations. Successful exploitation enables arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the Nagios XI web application user.

## Affected

- `nagios_xi < 2024`
- `nagios_xi = 2024`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `nagios_xi 2024`
