If you cannot patch yet, restrict administrator access to trusted personnel only and monitor for suspicious activity related to MIB uploads. Avoid exposing the Nagios XI interface to untrusted networks.

Description

Nagios XI versions prior to 2026R2 have an OS command injection vulnerability in the MIB upload feature. The vulnerability arises because the install_mib() function in mibs.php inadequately sanitizes uploaded filenames, omitting certain characters like semicolons, pipes, and some whitespace characters. An authenticated administrator can exploit this by uploading a crafted MIB file with tab characters in the filename to bypass filtering and execute arbitrary OS commands as the web server user.
