Operationally, ranked in the top 0.8% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
Centreon contains a SQL injection vulnerability in the updateServiceHost function that permits 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 in the context of the apache user on affected Centreon installations. The issue was assigned ZDI-CAN-23294 and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8.
An attacker with valid credentials can supply a crafted string to the vulnerable function over the network, resulting in SQL injection that leads directly to code execution. No user interaction is required beyond authentication, and the attack can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability on the target system.
The vulnerability is detailed in Zero Day Initiative advisory ZDI-24-595, which identifies the affected component and confirms the remote code execution impact.
The EPSS score stands at 0.8063 with no material rise from a lower baseline.
