Description
This vulnerability is a critical Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) in Centreon's centreon-open-tickets module that leads to Remote Code Execution. The message_confirm field is stored without sanitization and rendered via Smarty with no security policy enabled, allowing any authenticated user, to inject and execute arbitrary code on the server. This results in disclosure of environment secrets and could impact platform availability of Centreon Infra Monitoring product.

AI Analysis

Impact

Centreon's centre-open-tickets module stores the message_confirm field without sanitization and then renders it through the Smarty template engine with no security policy enabled. An attacker who is authenticated with low privileges can inject arbitrary template code that the server executes, allowing read access to environment variables and secrets and potentially causing the platform to crash. This vulnerability permits complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the Centreon Infra Monitoring environment.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Centreon Infra Monitoring product in the centre-open-tickets module. No specific version numbers are listed, but the flaw exists in the current release at the time of the advisory. Users of Centreon who have any authenticated session, including low-privilege accounts, are at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.6 indicates a critical severity. The EPSS score is below 1%, suggesting a very low probability of exploitation observed so far, and the issue is not yet listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Nonetheless, because the attack requires only a low-privilege authenticated session, the likely vector is internal, and exploitation is straightforward once a user logs on. The lack of a security policy in Smarty removes the barrier to executing arbitrary code, making the vulnerability highly effective for an attacker who has gained access to the platform.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Centreon and the centre-open-tickets module to the latest release that resolves the SSTI flaw.
  • Restrict or remove the message_confirm field for non-admin users, or enforce strict access controls so that only privileged accounts can submit data to that field.
  • Configure the Smarty template engine with an enabled security policy or upgrade to a version that enforces sandboxing, preventing execution of untrusted template code.
