Summary

CVE-2024-23115 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Centreon Centreon Web. Its CVSS base score is 7.2 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Protocol or Service Impersonation (T1001.003); ranked in the top 0.7% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

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

Centreon installations are affected by CVE-2024-23115, a SQL injection vulnerability in the updateGroups function that leads to remote code execution. The flaw stems from insufficient validation of user-supplied input used to build SQL queries, allowing an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code under the privileges of the service account. The issue carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.2 and is tracked as ZDI-CAN-22295.

Remote attackers who already possess valid administrative credentials can exploit the vulnerability over the network by supplying crafted input to the affected function, resulting in full control over the application in the context of the service account. No user interaction is required beyond authentication.

The Zero Day Initiative published advisory ZDI-24-117 detailing the issue. The EPSS score stands at 0.7860 with an identical recorded peak, indicating sustained but not newly emerging exploitation interest after disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation can discover SQLi flaws before deployment but does not stop their introduction.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Input validation directly stops untrusted data from reaching SQL query construction without neutralization.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Secure engineering principles require parameterized queries and input sanitization that structurally eliminate SQLi.

SI-4 System Monitoring partial match

System monitoring can identify attempted SQLi exploitation via anomalous queries after the weakness exists.

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.
