Summary

CVE-2023-46727 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Glpi-Project Glpi. Its CVSS base score is 8.6 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 0.8% 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 management application, contains a SQL injection vulnerability in its native inventory endpoint. The flaw affects versions 10.0.0 through 10.0.10 and is tracked as CWE-89; unauthenticated network requests to the endpoint can be crafted to inject arbitrary SQL, producing a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.6 with changed scope and high confidentiality impact.

An attacker with no credentials can send specially formed inventory payloads that execute attacker-controlled queries against the backend database. Successful exploitation can expose sensitive data stored by GLPI without requiring user interaction or elevated privileges.

The project’s security advisory and release notes for version 10.0.11 describe the corrective patch and list disabling the native inventory feature as an immediate workaround. Corresponding commits and the GitHub advisory GHSA-v799-2mp3-wgfr provide the technical details of the fix.

EPSS for the CVE currently stands at 0.2330 with an identical recorded peak, indicating moderate but stable exploitation interest since disclosure.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

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
prevents

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.

finds

The same secure-coding and static-analysis activities surface missing neutralization of SQL metacharacters before the system is accepted.

prevents

Early warnings and shared best-practice information help organizations apply the latest remediation techniques against SQL-injection vulnerabilities.

prevents

Threat-intelligence feeds that surface new SQL-injection campaigns enable rapid updates to query-construction defenses and detection signatures before exploitation occurs.

prevents

Secure-coding rules and security testing phases mandate the use of parameterized queries or equivalent escaping, preventing the construction of dynamic SQL statements from untrusted input.

prevents

Language-specific secure coding rules, peer review and SAST together prevent the construction of SQL statements from untrusted data without proper parameterization or escaping.
