MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Attacker must already hold elevated/administrative privileges within Centreon Infra Monitoring (Centreon Web) sufficient to edit the ACL Action access configuration modules, where the malicious payload is stored. Exploitation further requires user interaction (UI:R): a second user must view the poisoned configuration page for the stored script to execute. Affected deployments are Infra Monitoring 24.10.0-24.10.12, 24.04.0-24.04.17, and 23.10.0-23.10.27; patched releases (24.10.13, 24.04.18, 23.10.28) are available. The key limiting factors are the high-privilege prerequisite and the required victim interaction, which substantially narrow realistic exploitation to environments where privilege boundaries between Centreon operators matter. |
| Impact | This is a genuinely medium/low priority issue rather than an urgent one, and the signals are consistent in pointing that way. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.8 (Medium), and the vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N confirms the core limiting factors: although the attack vector is network (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L), it requires HIGH privileges (PR:H) - the description independently corroborates this by stating exploitation is 'by users with elevated privileges' - and it requires victim user interaction (UI:R). The impact is limited (C:L/I:L/A:N) with a scope change (S:C), which is typical of stored XSS executing in a victim's browser context. The EPSS score is very low at 0.21% (10th percentile), indicating a low modeled probability of exploitation in the wild, which aligns with the high-privilege precondition. There is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit identified. All signals agree: a privileged-attacker stored XSS against a monitoring platform is a real but low-urgency finding, best handled in normal patch cycles. No conflicting signals were observed between CVSS, EPSS, and exploitation status. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A Centreon user who already holds elevated/administrative privileges injects a malicious script payload into an ACL Action access configuration module, which is stored server-side. When another privileged user later views the affected configuration page, the script executes in their authenticated browser session, potentially stealing session context or performing actions in the victim's context. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 08, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in Centreon Infra Monitoring (Centreon Web) versions 24.10.0 through 24.10.12, 24.04.0 through 24.04.17, and 23.10.0 through 23.10.27 allows an attacker who already holds elevated/administrative privileges to persist malicious script into ACL Action access configuration modules, which then runs in the browser of a second user who views the poisoned configuration page. The CVSS 3.1 score of 4.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) reflects the high-privilege prerequisite and the required victim interaction, EPSS is low at 0.21 percent (10th percentile), and no public exploit code or CISA KEV entry was identified at time of analysis. Vendor-fixed releases 24.10.13, 24.04.18, and 23.10.28 are available, so this remains a medium/low priority issue rather than an urgent one.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to the vendor-fixed releases 24.10.13 for the 24.10.x branch, 24.04.18 for the 24.04.x branch, and 23.10.28 for the 23.10.x branch, as documented in the Centreon security bulletin at https://thewatch.centreon.com/latest-security-bulletins-64/cve-2025-8429-centreon-web-all-versions-medium-severity-5119 with release artifacts at https://github.com/centreon/centreon/releases. If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict the ability to edit ACL Action access configuration modules to the smallest possible set of trusted administrators, since exploitation requires high privileges (PR:H) and only triggers when a second user views the poisoned page (UI:R) - this shrinks the pool of potential victims but does not remove the stored payload. Deploy a Content Security Policy that blocks inline script and untrusted sources to reduce script execution, accepting that legitimate Centreon UI features relying on inline JavaScript may break. Ensure ACL configuration inputs are server-side validated and output-encoded, and review recent ACL Action configuration entries for injected markup and delete suspicious ones, recognizing that manual review is error-prone and only a stopgap until the patch is applied.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is CWE-79, improper neutralization of input during web page generation, in this case the stored variant of cross-site scripting. Centreon Web is the PHP-based management interface of the Centreon Infra Monitoring platform, and the ACL Action access configuration modules accept administrator-supplied values that are persisted and later rendered without adequate output encoding, so a stored payload executes when another operator opens the affected configuration view. The CVSS vector confirms the prerequisites from the data: PR:H means the attacker must already hold high privileges before storing the payload, and UI:R means a separate victim must interact with the poisoned page for the script to fire. The S:C scope-changed rating indicates the injected script can affect resources beyond the vulnerable component, typically the victim's authenticated browser session and any Centreon data or actions exposed to it, though confidentiality and integrity impacts are low and availability impact is none. The provided CPE entries consistently identify cpe:2.3:a:centreon:centreon_web across the three affected release branches.
