Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated Centreon account with elevated (administrative/configuration) privileges able to edit the Services or Meta-services modules - consistent with PR:H - and a separate victim user who subsequently loads the page containing the stored payload (UI:R). It is therefore not exploitable by anonymous or low-privilege users and is not a default-configuration remote-unauthenticated flaw. Affected deployments are Centreon Infra Monitoring 24.10.0 before 24.10.9, 24.04.0 before 24.04.16, and 23.10.0 before 23.10.26; patched builds are not vulnerable. The practical limiting factors are the high privilege prerequisite and the dependence on a second user viewing the injected content.

Impact

This is a genuinely low-to-moderate priority issue, not a top-tier emergency. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.8 (Medium) is driven down by two strong limiting metrics: PR:H (the attacker must already hold elevated/administrative privileges in Centreon) and UI:R (a second user must view the poisoned page). The AV:N and AC:L metrics show the attack is network-reachable and technically simple once those preconditions are met, and S:C reflects that the injected script executes in a victim's browser context rather than the attacker's. Signal corroboration is consistent and non-conflicting: EPSS is only 0.21% (10th percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit was identified - all three independent signals agree this is low real-world exploitation pressure. No SSVC decision data was provided in the input. The main residual risk is insider/privilege-abuse or a chained attack where a lower-trust admin targets a higher-trust operator; it is not a mass-exploitation candidate. A vendor patch is available, so remediation is straightforward.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who already holds an elevated-privilege Centreon account injects a malicious JavaScript payload into a Services or Meta-services configuration field. The payload is stored and later rendered when another operator or administrator opens the affected monitoring page, executing script in that victim's authenticated session. No public exploit code was identified, so this would require a bespoke payload.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 08, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in the Services and Meta-services modules of Centreon Infra Monitoring lets an authenticated user with elevated (administrative/configuration) privileges inject persistent JavaScript that executes in the browser of any other user who later opens the affected service or meta-service page. Deployments running 24.10.0 before 24.10.9, 24.04.0 before 24.04.16, or 23.10.0 before 23.10.26 are affected; patched builds are not. Exploitation requires PR:H privileges plus a second user viewing the injected content (UI:R), so the practical reach is limited and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis; EPSS is 0.21% (roughly the 10th percentile), and there is no confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV).

RemediationAI

Upgrade to the vendor-fixed builds for your branch: 24.10.9 (from 24.10.x), 24.04.16 (from 24.04.x), or 23.10.26 (from 23.10.x); these are vendor-released patches and installations already on or above these versions are not affected. Obtain binaries and changelogs from https://github.com/centreon/centreon/releases and review the advisory at https://thewatch.centreon.com/latest-security-bulletins-64/cve-2025-10023-centreon-web-all-versions-medium-severity-5179. If immediate patching is not possible, compensate by tightening who can modify service and meta-service definitions (the exploit hinges on PR:H configuration rights, so audit and reduce administrative/configuration roles to the minimum necessary and monitor for unexpected account grants), and deploy a strict Content-Security-Policy on the Centreon web interface to block inline script execution - noting that CSP may break legitimate UI components and requires testing, and that it does not remove the stored payload. Additional controls worth applying while unpatched: restrict network access to the Centreon web UI to trusted management networks or a VPN (reduces the pool of users who could trigger the stored payload but adds operational friction for distributed operations teams), and enable auditing/review of changes to Services and Meta-services so injected content can be detected and removed. No public exploit code has been identified, and EPSS is low, so these measures are proportionate rather than emergency-driven.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The root cause is CWE-79, improper neutralization of user-supplied input during web page generation, applied in the stored (persistent) variant. Centreon Infra Monitoring is a PHP-based IT monitoring web console derived from the Nagios ecosystem; the Services and Meta-services configuration modules accept administrator-supplied strings (names, descriptions, field values) that are persisted in the monitoring database and later re-rendered into HTML pages without adequate output encoding. Because the payload is stored server-side rather than reflected, every subsequent page view by another user triggers execution in that user's session context, which is why the CVSS 3.1 vector carries S:C (scope change) - script runs in the victim's browser rather than the vulnerable component. The vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N confirms the attack is network-deliverable with low complexity but gated by high privileges (PR:H) and user interaction (UI:R); impacts are limited to low confidentiality and low integrity, with no availability impact. CPE data maps the flaw to centreon:centreon_web across three affected release branches (23.10.x, 24.04.x, 24.10.x), consistent with the vendor's version-specific advisory.
