How the Exploit Works

The exploit takes advantage of an access control flaw in Nagios Network Analyzer. When a user account is deleted by an administrator, the system fails to invalidate the active sessions and revoke associated API tokens. This means a user whose account has been deleted can still access system resources via these stale sessions and tokens, leading to potential unauthorized access to restricted functions.

Conceptual Example Code

The following example presents a conceptual representation of how an HTTP request might be manipulated to exploit this vulnerability:

GET /restricted_function HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Authorization: Bearer <stale_token>
{ "user": "deleted_user" }

In this example, `` would be the API token still valid after the user account deletion. The server, not properly invalidating these stale tokens, will grant access to the `deleted_user` to the `restricted_function` endpoint.
