CVE-2025-34277
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 · uneditedNagios Log Server versions prior to 2024R1.3.1 contain a code injection vulnerability where malformed dashboard ID values are not properly validated before being forwarded to an internal API. An attacker able to supply crafted dashboard ID values can cause the system to execute attacker-controlled data, leading to arbitrary code execution in the context of the Log Server process.
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 Log Server versions prior to 2024R1.3.1 fail to validate dashboard ID values before passing them to an internal API, allowing injection of attacker-controlled data that gets executed by the system, leading to arbitrary code execution in the context of the Log Server process.

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 Log Server installationLocate the Nagios Log Server installation directory or check the web interface footer for the version number. On Linux systems, also run: rpm -q nagioslogserver or dpkg -l | grep nagioslogserverAffected if The installed version cannot be determined or is earlier than 2024R1.3.1
-
Verify dashboard functionality is accessibleCheck if the Nagios Log Server web interface dashboard feature is accessible by navigating to the dashboard section or checking if /dashboard endpoint respondsAffected if The dashboard interface is accessible without additional authentication barriers
-
Check internal API endpoint exposureInspect web server configuration files (typically in /usr/local/nagioslogserver/nginx/conf/ or /etc/nagioslogserver/) for the API endpoint handling dashboard IDs. Look for routes like /api/dashboard or similar internal API pathsAffected if The internal API accepts dashboard ID parameters without validation
-
Confirm version falls within affected rangeCompare your installed version against the affected range: any version prior to 2024, or version 2024 (any sub-version), or versions earlier than 2024R1.3.1Affected if The installed version is 2024.x or any version before 2024R1.3.1
You are affected if the installed Nagios Log Server version is 2024.x or any version prior to 2024R1.3.1 and the dashboard feature is accessible.

dbcve · scoped2024
Upgrade to Nagios Log Server 2024R1.3.1 or later to obtain the patched version that properly validates dashboard ID values.
2024R1.3.1 or later
- Identify the current Nagios Log Server version by checking the About or System Information page in the web interface, or by running the appropriate version command
- Backup all Nagios Log Server configurations, databases, and any custom settings before proceeding with the upgrade
- Download Nagios Log Server version 2024R1.3.1 or later from the official Nagios website (www.nagios.com)
- Follow the official Nagios upgrade documentation to install the fixed version, ensuring to preserve existing configurations during the upgrade process
- After upgrade completion, verify the installation was successful by checking the version number
- Test that the dashboard functionality works correctly and the code injection vulnerability is no longer present
