Description

This module exploits an OS command injection vulnerability in
includes/components/nxti/index.php that enables an authenticated user
with admin privileges to achieve remote code execution as the `apache`
user. The module uploads a simple PHP shell via includes/components/nxti/index.php
to includes/components/autodiscovery/jobs/ and then
executes the payload as the `apache` user via an HTTP GET request to
includes/components/autodiscovery/jobs/?=

Valid credentials for a Nagios XI admin user are required. This module has
been successfully tested against Nagios XI 5.7.3 running on CentOS 7.
