CVE-2014-2913 describes an incomplete blacklist vulnerability in Nagios Remote Plugin Executor (NRPE) 2.15 and earlier, affecting Nagios and OpenSUSE products. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by injecting a newline character into the -a option of check_nrpe, though it requires the "dont_blame_nrpe" option to be enabled. With a CVSS score of 7.5, it poses a high risk due to its network-based attack vector and potential for partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. While not listed on CISA's KEV catalog, exploit code is publicly available on ExploitDB, indicating a clear path for exploitation, despite minimal community discussion or media coverage.
