CVE-2026-55426: Linuxfabrik Monitoring Plugins have local privilege escalation using embedded command

July 6, 2026

When a check plugin places user provided input inside a command which is passed to shell_exec, an attacker can abuse this to run arbitrary commands. This is mainly dangerous for plugins which are listed in the sudoers file, because this allows an attacker controlling the nagios user to get root privileges.
