A path traversal vulnerability exists in Nagios XI below version 5.8.5 AutoDiscovery component and could lead to post authenticated RCE under security context of the user running Nagios.
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
