CVE-2013-2214: status.cgi in Nagios 4.0 before 4.0 beta4 and 3.x before 3.5.1 does not properly restrict access to certain...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue could let a logged-in Nagios user who is only a contact for a service see hostnames through servicegroup views. It is an information disclosure issue, not documented here as code execution or unauthenticated compromise. Business urgency depends on whether exposed hostnames reveal sensitive infrastructure, customers, or internal segmentation. Exposure is most likely where older Nagios Core deployments allow multiple users or teams into the web CGI interface with contact-scoped permissions. Internet exposure increases concern, but the cited description requires authenticated access. Treat as a moderate-priority hygiene and data exposure issue. Prioritize remediation if Nagios is exposed beyond a small trusted admin group or if hostnames reveal sensitive internal architecture. Mitigation focus: Identify Nagios Core instances and confirm whether affected versions are still running.; Upgrade affected Nagios 3.x systems to 3.5.1 or later where supported.; Upgrade affected Nagios 4.0 beta deployments to beta4 or later where applicable..
