Description
GLPI 10.0.0 before 10.0.28 and 11.0.0 before 11.0.10 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability that allows authenticated users to obtain elevated profiles by cloning accounts. A user with the Technician profile can clone a Super-Admin account with a new login and password, since User::getCloneRelations() copies every Profile_User and Group_User assignment without permission checks, yielding an attacker-controlled Super-Admin account.

KEV: No
Impact: Privilege Escalation
Action: Immediate Patch
AI Analysis

Impact

Authenticated users can gain higher privileges by cloning another account. In this vulnerability, a user with only the Technician profile can clone a Super‑Admin account, creating a new account with Super‑Admin rights. This enables the attacker to bypass all access controls, read, modify, or delete any data, and gain administrative control of the GLPI instance.

Affected Systems

glpi-project GLPI versions 10.0.0 through 10.0.27 and 11.0.0 through 11.0.9 are affected. The problem exists in both major branches until the releases 10.0.28 and 11.0.10, respectively.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.6 indicates a high‑severity flaw, and the EPSS score is not available, suggesting the exploitation probability is not well established. However, the vulnerability can be exploited by any authenticated user, making it reachable in environments where users have at least technician‑level access. The flaw is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, and no public exploits are known at this time, but the impact is severe enough to warrant immediate attention.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade GLPI to version 10.0.28 or later, or 11.0.10 or later, which removes the unchecked clone operation.
  • If an upgrade is not yet possible, restrict the ability to clone accounts so that only Super‑Admin users can perform cloning or disable cloning entirely.
  • Audit existing user accounts for unexpected Super‑Admin accounts created via cloning and disable any that were not authorized.
