Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the attacker to already possess or control the CentreonBI user account on the Centreon MBI (Monitoring Business Intelligence) module server - this is the specific prerequisite named in the description. The affected feature is the MBI reporting/script engine, where incorrect default permissions let the CentreonBI account embed scripts within other scripts. Exploitation is further limited by the need for user interaction (UI:R per CVSS) to trigger execution of the tampered script, and it only applies to deployments that have the MBI add-on modules installed (not base Centreon). Limiting factors: high-privilege account control, MBI module deployment, and script execution trigger - all of which constrain this to insider/compromised-service-account abuse rather than opportunistic remote attacks.

Impact

This is a CVSS 8.4 (High) flaw whose real-world priority is materially lower than the raw score suggests once all signals are weighed. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) is driven to High primarily by the scope change (S:C) and full C/I/A impact, but it explicitly requires HIGH privileges (PR:H) and user interaction (UI:R) - the attacker must already control the privileged CentreonBI service account on the MBI server, so this is a privilege-escalation/abuse-of-trust issue rather than a pre-auth remote compromise. EPSS corroborates the lower urgency: 0.43% probability at the 35th percentile indicates low near-term exploitation likelihood. The CVE is NOT in CISA KEV and no POC is referenced, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. No SSVC decision data was provided in the input. Note a tension worth flagging: the vendor assigns AV:N, yet the root cause (Incorrect Default Permissions, CWE-276, abused by a local service account embedding scripts within scripts on the MBI server) reads as a local/config-bound condition - verify the true attack vector with Centreon before treating this as remotely reachable. Overall: patch in normal cycle for Centreon MBI operators, but it is not an emergency unless the CentreonBI account is exposed or shared.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An actor who has obtained the privileged CentreonBI service account on the Centreon MBI (Business Intelligence) server leverages incorrect default permissions to embed arbitrary scripts within legitimate reporting scripts. When those scripts are executed (user interaction), the embedded code runs in the trusted BI context, enabling code execution and privilege escalation beyond the account's intended scope. No public exploit code is referenced for this CVE.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 08, 2026

Incorrect default permissions in the Centreon MBI (Monitoring Business Intelligence) reporting modules let a CentreonBI account embed scripts within other scripts, resulting in high-impact compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability across the MBI server (scope-changed). Affected releases are Centreon Infra Monitoring 24.10.0 before 24.10.6, 24.04.0 before 24.04.9, and 23.10.0 before 23.10.15; the CVSS vector (PR:H/UI:R) confirms an authenticated, high-privilege actor plus user interaction, and our assessment (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H, 8.4 High) frames this as insider or compromised-service-account abuse rather than an opportunistic remote attack. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, no CISA KEV listing, and the EPSS score is low at 0.43% (35th percentile), so real-world priority is materially lower than the raw 8.4 score suggests.

RemediationAI

Apply the vendor-released patch by upgrading Centreon Infra Monitoring to 24.10.6, 24.04.9, or 23.10.15 (or later within the respective branch), as documented in the Centreon security bulletin https://thewatch.centreon.com/latest-security-bulletins-64/cve-2025-8432-centreon-mbi-high-severity-5180, with release artifacts at https://github.com/centreon/centreon/releases. Until upgrading, restrict how the CentreonBI account can be reached and used: treat any credential or session for that account as sensitive, and review/rotate its credentials if a compromise is suspected - the trade-off is operational overhead and potential report-job reconfiguration. Harden the default permissions on MBI script, template, and report directories so only the CentreonBI runtime (and not interactive users or report authors) can write to them; the trade-off is that legitimate report customization may need a controlled, audited deployment path. If MBI is not in active use, disable or uninstall the MBI add-on modules entirely, which removes the attack surface at the cost of losing BI reporting. Limit network reachability to the MBI server and its reporting interfaces to trusted administrative networks, and enable logging/auditing of changes to MBI scripts to detect the script-within-script tampering pattern, accepting that this is detective rather than preventive control.

Affected ProductsAI

Centreon Infra Monitoring with the MBI (Monitoring Business Intelligence) add-on modules is affected. Fixed-version thresholds define the vulnerable ranges: 24.10.0 up to but not including 24.10.6, 24.04.0 up to but not including 24.04.9, and 23.10.0 up to but not including 23.10.15. Deployments running only the base Centreon platform without the MBI modules installed are out of scope, since the flaw resides in the MBI reporting/script engine and its default permissions rather than in core Centreon. No CPE strings were supplied with this record, so matching should be done against the product/version ranges above; vendor release artifacts are listed at https://github.com/centreon/centreon/releases and the dedicated bulletin is at https://thewatch.centreon.com/latest-security-bulletins-64/cve-2025-8432-centreon-mbi-high-severity-5180.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Centreon MBI is an add-on business-intelligence/reporting component installed on top of Centreon Infra Monitoring; it runs scheduled report-generation jobs and stored scripts under a dedicated CentreonBI service account on the MBI server. The root cause is CWE-276 (Incorrect Default Permissions): the shipped default filesystem/ownership permissions on MBI script and report artifacts are too permissive, allowing a user controlling the CentreonBI account to write or alter report scripts so that one script embeds another ('Embedding Scripts within Scripts'). That injected inner script then executes with the privileges of the MBI reporting engine, which is why the impact is scope-changed (S:C) with High confidentiality, integrity, and availability effects on the MBI host rather than confined to a single component. The vendor/NVD vector (AV:N) and our independent assessment (AV:L) diverge on the access path, but all signals agree on the prerequisites: control of the CentreonBI account, presence of the MBI add-on modules (base Centreon is not affected), and a user-interaction trigger (UI:R) to run the tampered script. The associated tag 'Privilege Escalation' is consistent with the assessed behavior: an already-privileged service account gains further reach through improperly secured defaults.

DescriptionCVE.org

Incorrect Default Permissions vulnerability in Centreon Infra Monitoring (MBI modules) allows Embedding Scripts within Scripts by CentreonBI user account on the MBI server This issue affects Infra Monitoring: from 24.10.0 before 24.10.6, from 24.04.0 before 24.04.9, from 23.10.0 before 23.10.15.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Centreon Infra Monitoring's MBI reporting module has a high-severity incorrect default permissions issue that could allow a privileged CentreonBI account to embed scripts and compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the MBI server. Exploitation requires an authenticated, high-privilege actor plus user interaction, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, so the pressing business risk is concentrated in reporting administrators and the sensitive data those reports contain. Leadership should prioritize exposure validation, privileged-access reduction, and vendor patch tracking while avoiding broad alarm.

Business Impact: Medium
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict CentreonBI account permissions and remove unnecessary script-embedding capabilities, enforce least privilege for MBI users, enable detailed audit logging and alerting on script creation and execution, network-segment the MBI server, limit interactive access to trusted administrators, and review default MBI permissions against vendor hardening guidance.
