Sven We know very little, but from the nagios architecture I would rather suspect there is a security flaw in a check script than in the nagios core. The checks are the tools that contact other servers, not the nagios core. And a check script can be anything, e.g. a self-written shell script using a root login and called from the nagios core with a password in plain text. I think we shoud wait until we know more about the attack vectors before speculating in the wild.
