Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated account with ELEVATED privileges in Centreon Infra Monitoring, sufficient to create or edit Notification rules or Open Tickets module configuration - the exact feature where the unsanitized input is stored. Successful payload execution additionally requires a second victim user to subsequently view the affected page (UI:R), so it cannot fire autonomously. Limiting factors: the high-privilege prerequisite makes this primarily an insider or post-compromise escalation vector rather than an external attack, and only versions below the fixed releases (24.10.5, 24.04.5, 23.10.4) are affected.

Impact

This is a genuinely low-to-moderate priority issue, and the signals largely agree. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.8 (medium) reflects the key constraint captured in the vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N: although the attack vector is network-facing, exploitation requires HIGH privileges (PR:H) AND victim user interaction (UI:R), with only LOW confidentiality/integrity impact and no availability impact. The EPSS score of 0.24% (14th percentile) is consistent with this low practical risk and indicates very little expectation of near-term widespread exploitation. There is no CISA KEV listing (not confirmed actively exploited) and no public exploit code identified in the provided data, so this is not an active-threat item. There is no SSVC decision data provided. Net: this is a real but low-severity stored XSS that depends on an already-privileged, malicious or compromised insider - it is NOT a high-CVSS-but-overrated external risk because the CVSS itself is correctly modest. The scope change (S:C) is the main reason it rates above low, reflecting that injected script executes in another user's authenticated browser session.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A user with elevated Centreon privileges injects a malicious script payload into a Notification rule or an Open Tickets module field, which is stored unsanitized. When another Centreon operator or administrator later views the affected configuration page, the stored script executes in their authenticated browser session. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 19, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in Centreon Infra Monitoring lets authenticated users with elevated privileges inject script into Notification rules or the Open Tickets module, which then executes in another user's browser when the affected page is viewed. Affected releases are 24.10.0 before 24.10.5, 24.04.0 before 24.04.5, and 23.10.0 before 23.10.4. Exploitation requires high privileges and user interaction (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), EPSS is 0.24%, no public exploit was identified at time of analysis, and vendor patches are available.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patches are available: upgrade to Centreon Infra Monitoring 24.10.5, 24.04.5, or 23.10.4 depending on your branch, as documented in the vendor bulletin at https://thewatch.centreon.com/latest-security-bulletins-64/cve-2025-8460-centreon-open-tickets-medium-severity-5344 and the release page at https://github.com/centreon/centreon/releases. Until patched, restrict creation and editing of Notification rules and the Open Tickets module to trusted administrators, review existing rules for injected markup, and monitor high-privilege account activity; these measures reduce exposure but do not remove the underlying flaw, and tighter admin restrictions can slow routine monitoring configuration changes.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CWE-79 covers improper neutralization of user-controllable input during web page generation. In this stored XSS case, Centreon Infra Monitoring does not adequately sanitize data entered into Notification rules or the Open Tickets module before rendering it back in the web interface. Because the payload is stored, it persists in configuration and executes when a second user views the affected page, which is why the CVSS vector includes UI:R and S:C. The prerequisite is an authenticated account with elevated privileges (PR:H) sufficient to create or edit these rules/modules, making this primarily an insider or post-compromise escalation vector. CPE data identifies centreon:open_tickets as the affected component, and only versions below 24.10.5, 24.04.5, and 23.10.4 are affected.
