{"id":"CVE-2026-24893","summary":"openITCOCKPIT has Authenticated Command Injection Leading to Remote Code Execution via Host Address Macro Expansion","details":"openITCOCKPIT is an open source monitoring tool built for different monitoring engines. openITCOCKPIT Community Edition prior to version 5.5.2 contains a command injection vulnerability that allows an authenticated user with permission to add or modify hosts to execute arbitrary OS commands on the monitoring backend. The vulnerability arises because user-controlled host attributes (specifically the host address) are expanded into monitoring command templates without validation, escaping, or quoting. These templates are later executed by the monitoring engine (Nagios/Icinga) via a shell, resulting in remote code execution. Version 5.5.2 patches the issue.","aliases":["GHSA-789q-pw85-j2q2"],"modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:22.904336409Z","published":"2026-04-14T20:37:00.347Z","database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"GitHub_M","cwe_ids":["CWE-20","CWE-78"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/24xxx/CVE-2026-24893.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openITCOCKPIT/openITCOCKPIT/releases/tag/openITCOCKPIT-5.5.2"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/24xxx/CVE-2026-24893.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/openITCOCKPIT/openITCOCKPIT/security/advisories/GHSA-789q-pw85-j2q2"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-24893"},{"type":"ARTICLE","url":"https://openitcockpit.io/blog/posts/2026/2026-04-14-openitcockpit-agent-3.6.0-and-5.5.2"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/openitcockpit/openitcockpit","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"de5f9d139ae369ef85ee5d59480989f62a621142"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"5.5.2"}],"source":["AFFECTED_FIELD","REFERENCES"]}}],"versions":["openITCOCKPIT-5.5.1","openITCOCKPIT-5.5.0","openITCOCKPIT-5.4.0","openITCOCKPIT-5.3.1","openITCOCKPIT-5.3.0","openITCOCKPIT-5.2.0","openITCOCKPIT-5.1.2","openITCOCKPIT-5.1.1","openITCOCKPIT-5.1.0","openITCOCKPIT-5.0.2","openITCOCKPIT-5.0.0","openITCOCKPIT-5.0.1","openITCOCKPIT-4.8.7","openITCOCKPIT-4.8.6","openITCOCKPIT-4.8.5","openITCOCKPIT-4.8.4","openITCOCKPIT-4.8.2","openITCOCKPIT-4.8.3","openITCOCKPIT-4.8.1","openITCOCKPIT-4.8.0","openITCOCKPIT-4.7.0","openITCOCKPIT-4.7.1","openITCOCKPIT-4.6.10","openITCOCKPIT-4.6.9","openITCOCKPIT-4.6.8","openITCOCKPIT-4.6.7","openITCOCKPIT-4.6.6","openITCOCKPIT-4.6.5","openITCOCKPIT-4.6.3","openITCOCKPIT-4.6.2","openITCOCKPIT-4.6.1","openITCOCKPIT-4.6.0","openITCOCKPIT-4.5.5","openITCOCKPIT-4.5.4","openITCOCKPIT-4.5.3","openITCOCKPIT-4.5.2","openITCOCKPIT-4.5.1","openITCOCKPIT-4.5.0","openITCOCKPIT-4.4.1","openITCOCKPIT-4.4.0","openITCOCKPIT-4.3.3","openITCOCKPIT-4.3.2","openITCOCKPIT-4.3.1","openITCOCKPIT-4.3.0","openITCOCKPIT-4.2.3","openITCOCKPIT-4.2.2","openITCOCKPIT-4.1.4","openITCOCKPIT-4.1.3","openITCOCKPIT-4.1.1","openITCOCKPIT-4.1.0","openITCOCKPIT-4.0.5","openITCOCKPIT-4.0.4","openITCOCKPIT-3.6.0","openITCOCKPIT-3.4.3","openITCOCKPIT-3.4.2","openITCOCKPIT-3.3.0","openITCOCKPIT-3.1.5","openITCOCKPIT-3.0.11-6","openITCOCKPIT-3.0.11-4","openITCOCKPIT-3.0.10-10","openITCOCKPIT-3.0.10-6","openITCOCKPIT-3.0.10-5","openITCOCKPIT-3.0.10","openITCOCKPIT-3.0.9","openITCOCKPIT-3.0.8-2","openITCOCKPIT-3.0.8","openITCOCKPIT-3.0.7","openITCOCKPIT-3.0.6-1","openITCOCKPIT-3.0.4"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-24893.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
