Published: 05 April 2022
Summary
CVE-2022-24780 is a high-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Combodo Itop. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).
Operationally, ranked in the top 4.3% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
Deeper analysis
Combodo iTop is a web-based IT Service Management tool affected by a server-side template injection vulnerability in versions prior to 2.7.6 and 3.0.0. The flaw, tracked as CWE-94, allows users of the iTop user portal to submit crafted TWIG template code through specially formed HTTP requests, resulting in arbitrary code execution on the server under the privileges of the web server user. The issue carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8.
An authenticated user with access to the user portal can exploit the vulnerability by forging HTTP queries that inject and execute malicious TWIG code. Successful exploitation grants the attacker the ability to run arbitrary commands on the underlying server, potentially leading to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
Public references, including the GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-v97m-wgxq-rh54 and associated commits, state that the vulnerability is resolved in iTop 2.7.6 and 3.0.0, with no workarounds identified. A proof-of-concept exploit has been published on Packet Storm, and the EPSS score stands at 0.2074 with no material increase from its peak value.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Makes persistent code injection into loaded programs impossible when the executable image itself resides on hardware-protected read-only media.
Dynamically generated code can be produced and executed inside the isolated chamber, preventing host compromise from code-injection payloads.
Validates inputs used in dynamic code generation to block injected directives.
Directly prevents execution of attacker-supplied code written into data memory regions.
