MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires a valid authenticated Centreon account with low privileges (PR:L); the attacker then abuses a missing function-level authorization check to reach poller management and invoke post-restart commands they should not be permitted to run. Exploitation is remote over the network against the Centreon web application (AV:N) with no user interaction (UI:N) and low complexity (AC:L). Limiting factors: anonymous/unauthenticated users cannot exploit this (authentication required), so realistic abuse is by legitimate low-privilege users, insiders, or holders of compromised credentials; network reachability of the Centreon interface is also required. No special non-default configuration is named in the available sources, and specific affected/fixed versions are not stated. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity (CVSS 5.4), post-authentication authorization flaw (CWE-863) rather than a top-priority emergency. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation but requires an authenticated low-privilege account (PR:L) and yields only limited integrity and availability impact with no confidentiality loss (C:N/I:L/A:L). Exploitation status: no public exploit identified at time of analysis - the CVE is not in CISA KEV, no EPSS probability was supplied, and no proof-of-concept is referenced. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month' (not act_now or emergency), which is consistent with the medium CVSS and absence of exploitation signals: remediate within the normal patch cycle rather than as an emergency. The key signal tension is that the required-authentication precondition (PR:L) sharply narrows the realistic attacker population to users who already hold a valid Centreon login, so the practical risk is primarily privilege-escalation-within-the-app / insider or compromised-account abuse rather than mass unauthenticated exploitation. EPSS and SSVC automatable/technical-impact values were not provided, so quantitative exploitation likelihood cannot be confirmed from the input. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated low-privilege Centreon user sends a request to a poller management function they should not be authorized to reach, and the missing function-level authorization check (CWE-863) lets them trigger the poller post-restart commands. Because AV:N/AC:L/UI:N, no user interaction or special timing is needed once the attacker holds any valid account, but valid credentials (PR:L) are required and impact is limited to integrity and availability of the monitoring platform. No public exploit or PoC is identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 29, 2026
Authenticated users holding only low-privilege Centreon accounts can invoke poller post-restart commands they should not be permitted to run, because the application omits a function-level authorization check on that functionality (CWE-863). The flaw is remotely reachable over the network with low attack complexity and no user interaction (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L, score 5.4), so confidentiality is untouched while integrity and availability impacts are limited; anonymous users cannot exploit it, making realistic abuse the domain of legitimate low-privilege users, insiders, or holders of compromised credentials who can reach the Centreon web interface. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and the issue is assessed as moderate severity rather than a top-priority emergency, with the vendor-reported priority falling into this month's remediation window; no specific affected or fixed versions are stated in the available sources.
RemediationAI
No specific fixed version is identified in the available sources, so the primary action is to review the vendor release listing at https://github.com/centreon/centreon/releases and the Centreon advisory referenced at https://thewatch.centreon.com, then upgrade to the release that documents the corrected function-level authorization check for poller post-restart commands. Until that upgrade is applied, reduce exposure by restricting network reachability of the Centreon web interface to trusted administrative networks, since remote access to the application is a stated precondition for exploitation, and by auditing and trimming the set of accounts able to authenticate with low privileges, because exploitation requires a valid authenticated session. Review poller restart activity in application logs for actions performed by accounts that should not hold poller management rights, and note that these measures lower the attack surface but do not remediate the missing authorization check itself.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Centreon is a monitoring platform whose architecture separates the central web application from pollers, the engines that actually execute monitoring checks; poller lifecycle operations such as restarts are exposed through the web interface and are meant to be gated by role-based permissions. The root cause here is classified as CWE-863, Incorrect Authorization, specifically a broken function-level authorization check: the server-side handler that triggers poller post-restart commands does not verify that the requesting account holds the privilege required for that function, so any authenticated session can reach it regardless of role. The CPE entry cpe:2.3:a:centreon:centreon:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the affected product family but uses a wildcard version, so no specific build range can be pinned from the supplied data. Because the missing control is an authorization decision on a server-side function rather than input handling, the practical effect is privilege escalation within the application's own permission model, bounded by the low integrity and availability impact reflected in the assessed vector.
