Summary

CVE-2023-41320 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Glpi-Project Glpi. Its CVSS base score is 8.1 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Protocol or Service Impersonation (T1001.003); ranked in the top 2% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

GLPI, an open-source IT asset and service management application, contains a SQL injection vulnerability in its UI layout preferences management component. The flaw, tracked as CWE-89, allows an authenticated user to manipulate stored preferences in a way that injects arbitrary SQL, which can be leveraged to extract or modify sensitive data within the application's database.

An attacker with low-privileged network access can exploit the issue without user interaction to obtain administrative account takeover, resulting in high impact to confidentiality and integrity. The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.1 reflects the combination of remote exploitability and the ability to fully compromise an administrator session.

Public advisories from the GLPI project direct users to upgrade immediately to version 10.0.10 and state that no workarounds are available. The associated GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-mv2r-gpw3-g476 contains the official remediation guidance and patch details.

Likely Mitigating Controls AI

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.

CA-8 Penetration Testing
addresses: CWE-89

Penetration testing uses SQL injection payloads against database interfaces, identifying and supporting fixes for SQL injection weaknesses.

SI-10 Information Input Validation
addresses: CWE-89

Validates query inputs to prevent SQL syntax or command manipulation.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
blocks

Secure SDLC practices directly target injection flaws during coding and review so largely prevent CWE-89 introduction, yet the single broad outcome leaves residual risk from incomplete neutralization techniques or missed edge cases.

PR.AT-02 partial match
blocks

Training raises developer awareness of SQLi risks and can reduce introduction likelihood (partial) but removes none of the actual coding flaw's risk by itself since technical neutralization is still required.
