Administrator escalation via poller broker 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 privileges via poller configuration requests. The poller broker configuration handler places an insufficiently validated user-supplied string into constructed SQL queries. An authenticated account with access to modify poller broker configuration is required, and successful injection yields administrator-level control.
