http://secunia.com/advisories/32610/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Nagios 3.x
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/20399/

DESCRIPTION:
Andreas Ericsson has discovered a vulnerability in Nagios, which can
be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site request
forgery attacks.

The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests to "cmd.cgi" without performing any validity checks to
verify the request. This can be exploited to execute certain Nagios
commands (e.g. to disable notifications) when a logged-in
administrator visits a malicious web site.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.0.5. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not browse untrusted sites or follow untrusted links while being
logged in to the application.
