- CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
Summary
Nagios Core before 4.5.14 and Nagios XI before 2026R1.7 are vulnerable to DOM-based cross-site scripting in jsonquery.js. Unencoded JSON string values reflected from stored fields are inserted into the DOM without sanitization, allowing attackers to run arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser.
