AI Analysis

Impact

An unauthenticated user can delete the .readonly file that is created during the setup of Combodo iTop. Removing this file removes the write guard and permits the attacker to perform write operations against the application, potentially altering configuration, data, or inserting malicious content. The weakness is a classic authorization bypass and is categorized as CWE‑306.

Affected Systems

Combodo iTop installations running any version prior to 3.2.3 are vulnerable. The issue was fixed in version 3.2.3, so any older deployment is at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates a medium severity. EPSS information is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is a simple HTTP request to the web interface that deletes the .readonly file; no authentication or elevated privileges are required, which makes exploitation straightforward for attackers with network access to the application.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to iTop version 3.2.3 or later to apply the vendor fix.
  • Ensure the .readonly file is protected from deletion by setting appropriate file-system permissions (e.g., 600) or moving it outside the web‑accessible directory.
  • Configure the web server or network firewall to deny unauthenticated users write access to the directory containing the .readonly file.
