CVE-2013-1362

72
FAUCET Score

CVE-2013-1362 is an incomplete blacklist vulnerability in Nagios Remote Plug-In Executor (NRPE) versions prior to 2.14, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands. This flaw specifically affects Nagios NRPE and OpenSUSE products. With a CVSS score of 7.5, it is considered highly severe due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and potential for complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed in CISA KEV, exploit code is publicly available through Metasploit, and its high EPSS score suggests a significant likelihood of exploitation, despite minimal community discussion or media coverage.
