Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated account with elevated/administrative privileges capable of editing the Hostgroup configuration page in Centreon Infra Monitoring (Centreon Web), since the payload is injected and stored there (PR:H). Triggering the stored payload additionally requires a second user to view the affected Hostgroup configuration view (UI:R), so this is not self-contained remote code execution. Limiting factors: the need for a pre-existing privileged account sharply narrows the threat population to insiders or already-compromised admin sessions, and only instances running affected versions below 24.10.15 / 24.04.19 / 23.10.29 are vulnerable. There is no special non-default feature toggle implied - the Hostgroup configuration page is standard functionality.

Impact

This is a genuinely medium-to-low priority issue, and the signals are consistent rather than conflicting. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) describes a stored XSS that requires an attacker to already hold elevated/administrative privileges (PR:H) and requires a victim to view the affected page (UI:R); the scope change (S:C) reflects that injected script executes in another user's browser context. The 4.8 base score and limited C/I/A (Low/Low/None) indicate constrained impact. EPSS is low at 0.19% (9th percentile), the CVE is NOT listed in CISA KEV, and no public exploit is referenced - all three signals agree this is not under active or imminent widespread exploitation. The PR:H requirement is the dominant limiting factor: an attacker needs an already-privileged account to plant the payload, which turns this into a privilege-abuse / insider or post-compromise escalation vector rather than a drive-by remote threat. No key signals conflict; the main value here is recognizing that the high-privilege prerequisite meaningfully lowers real-world urgency despite the network attack vector.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A user with elevated Centreon configuration privileges injects a malicious script into a field on the Hostgroup configuration page, which is stored persistently. When another operator or administrator later opens that Hostgroup configuration view, the script executes in their authenticated session (scope change), potentially enabling session/token theft or actions in their browser context. No public exploit code is referenced, and exploitation requires both the privileged account to plant the payload and a victim to view the affected page (UI:R).

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 19, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in Centreon Infra Monitoring (Centreon Web) allows authenticated users with elevated privileges to inject persistent scripts into the Hostgroup configuration page, which may execute in the context of other administrators who view the affected page. Affected versions are 24.10.0 before 24.10.15, 24.04.0 before 24.04.19, and 23.10.0 before 23.10.29; the vendor has released patched versions. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low at 0.19% (9th percentile), consistent with a medium-to-low priority issue.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to the vendor-released fixed versions: Centreon Infra Monitoring 24.10.15, 24.04.19, or 23.10.29 (or later), available from the Centreon releases page and security bulletin (https://thewatch.centreon.com/latest-security-bulletins-64/cve-2025-54890-centreon-web-medium-severity-5342). Because exploitation requires an authenticated high-privileged account to inject the stored payload and a second user to view the Hostgroup configuration page, reduce exposure by enforcing least privilege for administrative accounts, limiting access to the Hostgroup configuration page to trusted administrators, and auditing admin sessions for unexpected changes; these restrictions may reduce administrative flexibility but lower the likelihood of insider or compromised-admin abuse. No vendor workaround beyond upgrading is specified in the provided data.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation), specifically a stored XSS in the Hostgroup configuration page of Centreon Infra Monitoring (Centreon Web). Per the CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, exploitation requires network access, low attack complexity, high privileges (PR:H), and user interaction (UI:R) from a victim who views the stored payload; scope is changed (S:C) with low confidentiality and integrity impact and no availability impact. CPE data identifies centreon:centreon_web as the affected product. The root cause is failure to neutralize user-supplied input before it is rendered in web pages, allowing a privileged user to persist script content that executes when another user accesses the Hostgroup configuration view.
