CVE-2022-39214Network attack vector

Account takeover via mutable login username

Published Mar 14, 2023 · Updated Feb 25, 2025

Incorrect authorization in Combodo iTop before 2.7.8 and 3.0.0 through 3.0.2 allows remote authenticated users to take over any account. The login finite-state machine validates one username, then rereads the mutable auth_user request value when completing login instead of binding success to the checked identity. Any valid iTop account and knowledge of a target username are sufficient, granting access as that account without its password.
