CVE-2025-34271 — Nagios Log Server security vulnerability

Critical CVSS 9.8

Nagios Log Server versions prior to 2024R2.0.2 contain a vulnerability in the cluster manager component when requesting sensitive credentials from peer nodes over an unencrypted channel even when SSL/TLS is enabled in the product configuration. As a result, an attacker positioned on the network path can intercept credentials in transit. Captured credentials could allow the attacker to authenticate as a cluster node or service account, enabling further unauthorized access, lateral movement, or system compromise.

Matched remediation archetype

Cryptography, certificate, signature, and channel validation

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Inventory affected algorithms, key uses, trust stores, certificate validation settings, random sources, and plaintext channels across clients and services.
  • Determine which secrets, identities, signatures, or data protections depend on the affected primitive or validation path.
  • Check debug, compatibility, fallback, and hostname or audience override settings in build and runtime configuration.

Remediate safely

  • Use a maintained platform cryptographic API with approved algorithms, modes, parameters, randomness, and full peer identity validation.
  • Remove insecure fallback and validation bypasses; separate keys by purpose and load them from managed secret storage.
  • Plan rotation or reissuance for affected keys, certificates, tokens, hashes, or ciphertext and document compatibility sequencing.
