Deeper analysis
GLPI, a free asset and IT management software package used for data center management, ITIL service desk functions, license tracking, and software auditing, is affected by an improper authorization vulnerability tracked as CVE-2024-27937 and CWE-285. An authenticated user can retrieve the email addresses of all GLPI users through the application. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, and low privileges required, with high impact limited to confidentiality.
An attacker who already possesses a valid low-privileged account can exploit the issue remotely without user interaction to enumerate and obtain the complete list of user email addresses stored in the system. This information disclosure could support further targeted attacks such as phishing or credential stuffing against the organization’s GLPI users.
The vulnerability was addressed in the GLPI 10.0.13 release, with the fix documented in the project’s GitHub security advisory GHSA-98qw-hpg3-2hpj and the corresponding code commit. Administrators are advised to upgrade promptly from earlier versions.

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.
Documented procedures facilitate correct implementation and ongoing management of authorization decisions.
Periodic reviews identify and correct flaws in authorization decisions or enforcement.
The control's documentation requirement reduces improper authorization by ensuring only mission-justified actions bypass authentication.
Establishing permitted attributes and values, plus auditing changes, ensures authorization decisions are based on correctly managed policy data.
Explicitly mandates authorizing remote access types before permitting connections, directly mitigating improper authorization.
The control explicitly requires authorization of each wireless access type prior to permitting connections.
Mandating explicit authorization of mobile device connections reduces the risk of improper authorization decisions for system access.
Specifying access authorizations for each account and requiring approvals for account requests enforces proper authorization decisions.
