Multiple Vulnerabilities Detected in IT Management Solution GLPI

Multiple security vulnerabilities have been identified in GLPI, an open-source web application that helps institutions/organizations and companies manage their IT infrastructure and inventories. These vulnerabilities allow threat actors to execute SQL queries against the application database and to perform Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attacks.

The details of the detected security vulnerabilities are as follows;

• The security vulnerability tracked as CVE-2022-39375 is due to insufficient cleaning of user-supplied entries in the RSS Feed function. A remote threat actor can execute arbitrary HTML code and script in the user’s browser in the context of the vulnerable website via a malicious link. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows remote threat actors to obtain sensitive information, alter the web page’s appearance, and carry out phishing attacks.
• The security vulnerability tracked as CVE-2022-39234 is due to insufficient session expiry time. This vulnerability allows threat actors to access users’ accounts by reusing users’ old session credentials (Cookies) and thus may lead to the capture of users’ sensitive information.
• The security vulnerability tracked as CVE-2022-39323 is due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data in the API REST user_token component. A remote threat actor can execute arbitrary SQL commands in the application database by sending a specially crafted request to the affected application.
• The security vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2022-39276, is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied inputs in RSS feeds. A remote threat actor can direct the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems (SSRF) via a specially crafted HTTP request.
• The vulnerability security, tracked as CVE-2022-39277, is due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data on external connections. A remote threat actor can run arbitrary HTML code and script in the user’s browser in the context of the vulnerable website via a specially crafted link.

These vulnerabilities affect specific versions of GLPI, and security updates have been released that fix the vulnerabilities. In this context, it is recommended to immediately upgrade vulnerable installations to the current versions published in order not to be the target of attacks that can be carried out using vulnerabilities.
