Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated attacker holding elevated privileges (PR:H) with access to the Hosts templates configuration module in Centreon Infra Monitoring, and it requires a second user (UI:R) - typically a higher-privileged administrator - to subsequently view the configuration page containing the stored payload. Limiting factors: this is not remotely exploitable by unauthenticated or low-privilege users; the attacker must already be a trusted operator able to edit host template configuration, and the malicious script only fires when a victim opens the affected page. It is confined to the Centreon Web interface and affected versions only (24.10.x <24.10.13, 24.04.x <24.04.18, 23.10.x <23.10.28); patched versions remove the condition.

Impact

This is a genuinely low-to-moderate priority issue, not a top-tier emergency. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.8 (Medium), and crucially the vector requires PR:H - an attacker must already hold elevated/administrative privileges in Centreon to inject the stored payload into the Hosts templates configuration - and UI:R, meaning a victim user must subsequently view the poisoned configuration page. The EPSS score is very low (0.21%, 10th percentile), consistent with the limited exploitability of a privilege-gated stored XSS. There is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit code identified in the provided data, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' No SSVC decision data was supplied. The signals are internally consistent: a low-severity, high-privilege-required flaw with low exploitation probability and no evidence of active exploitation. The primary real-world risk is privilege escalation/lateral abuse by a semi-trusted operator against a higher-privileged administrator (the S:C scope change reflects script execution crossing into the victim's browser security context). No data is strongly conflicting; the main caveat is that CPE strings list 'centreon_web' while the advisory product name is 'Centreon Infra Monitoring,' which appear to refer to the same Centreon Web platform - worth confirming against the vendor bulletin.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A user with elevated (but not top-level) privileges in Centreon injects a malicious script into a Hosts template configuration field. When a higher-privileged administrator later opens that template configuration page, the stored JavaScript executes in their authenticated browser session, potentially hijacking actions or reading limited data. No public exploit code was identified, and exploitation depends on an administrator viewing the poisoned page.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 08, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in Centreon Infra Monitoring allows an authenticated operator holding elevated privileges (PR:H) who can edit Hosts templates configuration to persist malicious script that only executes when a second user (UI:R) later opens the affected configuration page. Affected releases are 24.10.x before 24.10.13, 24.04.x before 24.04.18, and 23.10.x before 23.10.28 across Centreon Web. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low (0.21%, 10th percentile); this is a limited-blast-radius, low-to-moderate priority issue rather than an emergency, since exploitation demands an already-trusted privileged account plus victim interaction.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patches are available: upgrade Centreon Infra Monitoring to 24.10.13 (24.10.x branch), 24.04.18 (24.04.x branch), or 23.10.28 (23.10.x branch) respectively; these are the exact fixed versions for CVE-2025-54893 and should be applied via the official release packages at https://github.com/centreon/centreon/releases, with details in the advisory at https://thewatch.centreon.com/latest-security-bulletins-64/cve-2025-54893-centreon-web-all-versions-medium-severity-5120. Because the flaw is stored rather than reflected, patching alone does not cleanse already-persisted payloads: administrators should audit and re-save or correct existing Hosts template records for injected HTML/script before or after upgrading, since a previously poisoned record may still render until resubmitted. As a compensating control pending upgrade, restrict access to the Hosts templates configuration module to the smallest set of trusted privileged operators, recognizing that this directly narrows the PR:H prerequisite but does not help once a privileged account is itself compromised; auditing who holds template-edit rights is the key trade-off to weigh. Additional interim hardening includes deploying a strict Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline and third-party script execution on the Centreon Web UI (effective against rendering-based XSS but may break custom UI components if the policy is too tight), and monitoring Centreon audit logs for unexpected modifications to host template fields. There is no unauthenticated remote path here - PR:H plus UI:R are hard prerequisites - so prioritizing this behind remotely exploitable, unauthenticated issues is reasonable, but the fix should still be scheduled in the normal patch cycle.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The root cause is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation), specifically a stored/persistent XSS in the Hosts templates configuration modules of Centreon Infra Monitoring, the web front end tracked as CPE cpe:2.3:a:centreon:centreon_web. Centreon Web is a PHP-based monitoring and IT-ops console in which host templates define reusable configuration; user-supplied fields in those templates are persisted in the backend database and later rendered into HTML configuration pages without adequate output encoding or sanitization. Because the payload is stored server-side, it fires on every subsequent render of the poisoned page rather than in a single reflected response. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N (4.8) confirms three important structural facts: the attack is network-reachable but requires high privileges (PR:H), needs a victim to interact with the page (UI:R), and crosses a scope boundary (S:C) because the injected script executes in the browsing context of the viewing user and can reach beyond the vulnerable component. Confidentiality and integrity impacts are low (C:L/I:L) and there is no availability impact. The CWE-79 weakness class is consistent with the assessed vector: no server-side code execution, no authentication bypass, purely client-side script execution constrained by what the victim's session can reach.
