Descriptions

Nagios XI 5.6.1 allows SQL injection via the username parameter to login.php?forgotpass (aka the reset password form). NOTE: The vendor disputes this issues as not being a vulnerability because the issue does not seem to be a legitimate SQL Injection. The POC does not show any valid injection that can be done with the variable provided, and while the username value being passed does get used in a SQL query, it is passed through SQL escaping functions when creating the call. The vendor tried re-creating the issue with no luck

** EN DIPUTA ** Nagios XI 5.6.1 permite que se produzca inyección SQL mediante el parámetro username para login.php?forgotpass (también conocido como el formulario de restablecer contraseña). NOTA: El proveedor niega que estos problemas sean una vulnerabilidad porque el problema no parece ser una Inyección SQL legítima. El POC no muestra ninguna inyección válida que se pueda hacer con la variable proporcionada, y aunque el valor del nombre de usuario que se pasa se usa en una consulta SQL, se pasa a través de las funciones de escape de SQL al crear la llamada. El proveedor intentó recrear el problema sin suerte.

Nagios XI version 5.6.1 suffers from a remote SQL injection vulnerability.
