CVE-2018-16146
The value parameter is not properly sanitized, leading to arbitrary command injection with the privileges of the nagios user account.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.20%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
