CVE-2025-28059
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedAn access control vulnerability in Nagios Network Analyzer 2024R1.0.3 allows deleted users to retain access to system resources due to improper session invalidation and stale token handling. When an administrator deletes a user account, the backend fails to terminate active sessions and revoke associated API tokens, enabling unauthorized access to restricted functions.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceNagios Network Analyzer 2024R1.0.3 fails to invalidate active sessions and revoke API tokens when user accounts are deleted. This allows previously authenticated users to continue accessing restricted system resources using stale sessions and tokens even after account deletion.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Nagios Network Analyzer versionLocate the installed Nagios Network Analyzer version in the system administration interface or check the package/version file. Compare against the affected version 2024R1.0.3.Affected if Running version 2024R1.0.3 (2024)
-
Review active user sessionsAccess the session management or active connections view in the Nagios Network Analyzer admin interface. List all currently active sessions and map them to user accounts.Affected if Any active session exists for a user account that has been deleted from the system
-
Check API tokens for deleted usersIn the API/token management section, enumerate all stored API tokens. Cross-reference the associated user accounts against the current list of active users.Affected if Any API token is associated with a user account that no longer exists in the user database
-
Audit authentication logs for deleted user activityReview authentication and access logs for successful login events or API access from users that have since been deleted. Look for access timestamps after the account deletion time.Affected if Logs show authentication or API access from a deleted user account after the deletion timestamp
You are affected if running Nagios Network Analyzer 2024R1.0.3 and any deleted user account still has an active session or valid API token in the system.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply vendor patch when available. Until then, consider network-level access controls to limit exposure and monitor for unauthorized access from deleted accounts.
