AI Analysis

Impact

The GLPI asset and IT management system contains a flaw that allows authenticated users with minimal privileges to create, update, or delete comments and translation entries on knowledge‑base items. This bypasses the intended authorization controls, letting the user alter or remove protected content. The missing authorization is identified as CWE‑285, meaning the application fails to enforce proper permission checks for these operations.

Affected Systems

GLPI versions 0.85 through 10.0.26 and the 11.0.8 release are affected. Any installation running one of those releases with standard user accounts can be leveraged to abuse the comment or translation controls.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 5.3 the flaw is of moderate severity. No EPSS data is available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Since only basic user credentials are required, the primary attack vector is an authenticated connection to the application. An attacker can therefore compromise the integrity of knowledge‑base content without additional privileges, potentially spreading misinformation or eroding trust in the knowledge base.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade GLPI to version 10.0.26 or 11.0.8 to address the authorization bypass.
  • If upgrading immediately is not possible, restrict standard user roles so they have no permissions to create, update, or delete knowledge‑base comments and translations.
  • Audit role‑based access controls and monitor logs for any anomalous activity involving the knowledge‑base comment and translation APIs.
