CVE-2025-24801
Glpi-Project Glpi 0.85 – 10.0.18
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:HSummary
CVE-2025-24801 is a high-severity Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type (CWE-434) vulnerability in Glpi-Project Glpi. Its CVSS base score is 8.5 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 3% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-3 (Malicious Code Protection) and CM-7 (Least Functionality) — 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.
GLPI, an open-source IT asset and service management application, contains an arbitrary file upload flaw tracked as CVE-2025-24801. An authenticated user can upload a PHP file to the server and then invoke it directly, resulting in code execution. The issue is classified under CWE-434 and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.5; it was corrected in version 10.0.18.
An attacker who already possesses a valid GLPI account can leverage the flaw to upload and execute arbitrary PHP payloads hosted on the server. Successful exploitation grants the ability to run operating-system commands, read or modify sensitive data, and potentially pivot within the environment, satisfying the high impact ratings across confidentiality, integrity, and availability under a network-accessible but high-complexity attack path.
The official GLPI security advisory GHSA-g2p3-33ff-r555 confirms the root cause and states that upgrading to 10.0.18 fully resolves the vulnerability. No other mitigations such as configuration changes or workarounds are documented in the reference.
EPSS for the CVE remains low at 0.0298 with no material increase since disclosure, indicating limited observed exploitation interest to date.

V5.1.1
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Malicious-code protection at entry points blocks dangerous file types from being accepted and executed.
Least functionality restricts the file types and automatic processing capabilities the system will accept.
Mobile-code controls define, authorize, and block unacceptable uploaded code before automatic processing occurs.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Restricting execution of unauthorized software directly blocks dangerous uploaded files from running.
Hardened configuration baselines can enforce allowed file types and processing rules.
Secure development practices include input validation and file-type restrictions that prevent this weakness.

Configuration and acceptance testing verify that file-upload handling enforces allowed types and does not permit dangerous content to be stored or executed.
Secure-coding guidelines and security testing explicitly address restrictions on allowed file types and upload handling, reducing the risk that dangerous file uploads are accepted without validation.
Mandated testing for malicious content and known vulnerabilities reduces the likelihood that an outsourced component will contain or accept dangerous file types that could later be uploaded or executed.
Application allow-listing and pre-use scanning of received files directly blocks the introduction of executable content that has not been vetted, eliminating the primary vector for unrestricted dangerous file uploads.
