Nagios Current Status Page

What is the "Nagios Current Status Page?"

The "Nagios Current Status Page" module is designed to detect the current network status of Nagios, a popular monitoring system. This module focuses on identifying misconfigurations or vulnerabilities in the Nagios status page. It has a low severity level, indicating that the potential impact is relatively minor. The original author of this module is dhiyaneshDk.

Impact

By scanning the Nagios Current Status Page, this module aims to identify any potential misconfigurations or vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers. While the severity level is low, it is still important to address any issues found to ensure the security and stability of the Nagios monitoring system.

How the module works?

The module sends HTTP requests to specific paths associated with the Nagios status page, such as "/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi" or "/cgi-bin/nagios4/status.cgi". It then applies matching conditions to determine if the page contains the phrase "Current Network Status". If a match is found, the module reports a potential vulnerability or misconfiguration.

Here is an example of an HTTP request sent by the module:

GET /nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi

The matching condition used in this module is a word match, specifically looking for the phrase "Current Network Status". If this phrase is present on the Nagios status page, it indicates a potential issue that should be investigated further.
