Threat & Defense at a Glance

What attackers do: exploitation maps to Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190). What defenders deploy: see the NIST 800-53 controls recommended below.

Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

prevent

Directly addresses the inadequate input validation in Centreon Web's media upload form that enables SQL injection by high-privilege users.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match

prevent

Mitigates the vulnerability by requiring timely identification, reporting, and patching of the SQL injection flaw in affected Centreon versions.

SI-9 Information Input Restrictions partial match

prevent

Provides an additional layer of defense by restricting malicious SQL payloads in media upload inputs through whitelisting or format limitations.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access

Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2024-53923 is a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in Centreon Web, affecting versions 24.10.x before 24.10.3, 24.04.x before 24.04.9, 23.10.x before 23.10.19, and 23.04.x before 23.04.24. The issue resides in the form used to upload media, where a user with high privileges can inject malicious SQL payloads due to inadequate input validation.

Exploitation requires an authenticated attacker with high privileges, enabling remote access over the network with low attack complexity and no additional user interaction. The vulnerability allows scope change, resulting in high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, as evidenced by its CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Centreon advisories detail mitigation through upgrading to patched releases: 24.10.3, 24.04.9, 23.10.19, or 23.04.24. Further information is available in the Centreon GitHub releases page and the security bulletin on thewatch.centreon.com.
