Description
GLPI is a free asset and IT management software package. From 11.0.0 until 11.0.8, a form administrator can use Form import with a crafted illustration or scene identifier that traverses outside the intended custom-asset directory. The imported file can be written to an executable server location, allowing a malicious script to be invoked remotely. This issue is fixed in version 11.0.8.

AI Analysis

Impact

GLPI versions 11.0.0 through 11.0.8 allow a form administrator to import a file with a crafted illustration or scene identifier that performs a directory traversal outside the intended custom‑asset directory. This flaw permits writing arbitrary files to server locations such as an executable directory, giving a malicious actor the ability to run a script remotely. The weakness is a classic path traversal vulnerability (CWE‑22).

Affected Systems

The affected product is GLPI from the glpi-project. All installations of GLPI version 11.0.0 up to and including 11.0.8 are vulnerable. Versions 11.0.8 and newer include the fix.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 9.4 classifies this issue as a high‑impact remote code execution vector. The Enterprise Package Support Score (EPSS) is not available, and the vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Because the flaw is triggered through the form import feature, an attacker only needs to gain access to the form import interface, which is typically an administrative function, and supply a malicious file path. Once executed, the attacker gains the same privileges as the web server process, allowing full control of the affected system.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade GLPI to release 11.0.8 or later, which contains the proper file‑path validation fix.
  • If immediate upgrade is not feasible, disable the form import feature or restrict it to trusted administrators only.
  • Configure the web server or application to enforce strict ownership and permissions on the custom‑asset directory, ensuring no writable executable files can be placed there.
