Administrator escalation via contact-group SQL injection

Published Mar 29, 2023 · Updated Feb 14, 2025

SQL injection in Centreon Infra Monitoring 22.04 allows remote authenticated users to gain administrator access via contact-group settings. The contact-group form inserts a user-supplied string into SQL queries without adequate validation or parameter binding. Access to the contact-groups configuration page is required, and successful injection grants administrator-level control of the monitoring application.
