CVE-2024-40638Network attack vector

Account takeover via undisclosed SQL injection

Published Nov 15, 2024 · Updated Nov 19, 2024

SQL injection in GLPI 0.85 through 10.0.16 allows remote authenticated users to alter account data and take over another account. The vendor identifies multiple injection points in AJAX scripts but has not disclosed the affected endpoints, parameters, or faulty query construction. Low-privileged authenticated access is sufficient over the network; the CNA assessment limits confirmed impact to account-data confidentiality and integrity.
