CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedNagios XI versions prior to 5.9.3 are vulnerable due to an insecure timing comparison in the is_insecure_login_authenticated function, allowing attackers to exploit timing discrepancies to brute-force the admin password. While the CVSS score is low, organizations using affected versions should prioritize remediation to prevent unauthorized access to their monitoring systems. Security teams should implement the latest updates and consider additional protective measures against brute-force attacks.
Original NVD Description
An issue was discovered in Nagios XI before 5.9.3. The is_insecure_login_authenticated function uses a insecure timing comparison that leads to an attacker being able to bruteforce the admin password, by measuring timing differences in the comparison.
