This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against API component of Nagios XI.Successful exploitation could result in the low privileged user escalating privileges to those of an administrator.
Nagios XI 5.5.6 allows remote authenticated attackers to reset and regenerate the API key of more privileged users. The attacker can then use the new API key to execute API calls at elevated privileges.
