1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Requires an authenticated GLPI session under the Technician profile (or any profile granted rights to clone/create users) and the presence of a higher-privileged account - a Super-Admin - to clone. The exact trigger is the user-cloning feature: the attacker clones the Super-Admin, supplies a new login and password they control, and the pre-patch User::getCloneRelations()/prepareInputForClone() copies all Profile_User and Group_User assignments without any permission check. Limiting factors: exploitation is not available to anonymous/unauthenticated visitors, it depends on the acting profile actually having user cloning/creation capability, and a Super-Admin (or otherwise more-privileged) account must exist to be copied.

Impact

This is a genuine but access-gated priority rather than an internet-wide emergency. The CVSS 4.0 vector (8.6, High) shows AV:N and AC:L with no user interaction, and the impact is total - cloning a Super-Admin yields VC:H/VI:H/VA:H (full GLPI compromise). The decisive limiter is privilege: the attacker must already be an authenticated GLPI user holding the Technician profile (or any profile able to clone/create users). The vendor vector sets PR:H, but the described actor - a standard Technician - is not an administrator; an honest reading is PR:L (authenticated, non-admin, needs user-management rights), which I reflect in my independent assessment and flag as a discrepancy to verify. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV entry, and no confirmed working exploit code were supplied, so this is not evidence of active, widespread exploitation; the vuln.today decision label is 'this_week', not act_now/emergency. Net: treat as a real insider/compromised-account escalation risk (a low-trust helpdesk technician can seize full control), prioritize patching within the week, but it does not carry the mass-exploitation profile of an unauthenticated network flaw.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A disgruntled or compromised GLPI user holding the Technician profile uses the built-in user-cloning feature to duplicate an existing Super-Admin account, then assigns the clone a login and password of their choosing and logs in with full Super-Admin rights. Because the vector is AV:N/AC:L/UI:N the operation needs only authenticated web access and no victim interaction, though it does require the Technician to have user cloning/creation rights. No public working exploit code is confirmed, but VulnCheck published a technical advisory describing the flaw.

AnalysisAIv1 – Nov 03, 2026

Privilege escalation in GLPI's user-cloning feature lets an authenticated Technician clone an existing Super-Admin account and assign the clone new credentials they control, resulting in a fully attacker-owned administrative login. All releases from 10.0.0 before 10.0.28 and 11.0.0 before 11.0.10 are affected, because User::getCloneRelations() and prepareInputForClone() duplicate every Profile_User and Group_User assignment without checking whether the cloning user could grant those rights. Vendor patches and public commits are available, no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and exploitation is access-gated: it requires a Technician (or other user-cloning-capable) session plus the presence of a more privileged account to copy, making this a genuine but scoped priority rather than an internet-wide emergency.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade to GLPI 10.0.28 for the 10.x line and 11.0.10 for the 11.x line as stated in the advisory package metadata, or to 10.0.27 / 11.0.9 as the advisory prose states, confirming the correct target release with the vendor before rollout. Patch data from the vendor is listed as available and the code change is public in commits 10a827c8c1868a0a65ab977d30878ff16547d9a7 and d30faa501e8b549ae507615b05e7d99dacfe5d98, so this is a this-week upgrade rather than an emergency out-of-band action. Because the vulnerability requires a Technician session that can clone or create users plus a higher-privileged account in the same instance, interim exposure reduction means tightening who holds user-creation and cloning rights and auditing existing accounts for unexpected Super-Admin profile assignments or recently created look-alike accounts with changed logins, passwords, or entity scopes; these controls are partial, and the vendor frames updating as the complete fix, so they should be treated as compensating measures only.

Technical ContextAI · show details

GLPI is a PHP/MySQL IT asset and helpdesk platform whose authorization model is entity-scoped: the Profile_User table binds a user to a profile (for example Technician or Super-Admin) within a specific entity, and Group_User binds users to groups, which themselves carry rights per entity. The flaw is an instance of CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management) in the CommonDBTM clone lifecycle. Prior to the fix, User::getCloneRelations() listed Profile_User and Group_User as relations to duplicate verbatim, and prepareInputForClone() re-added those rows for the new user without any authorization test, so the clone inherited the source account's full privilege set regardless of the cloning session's own rights. The upstream commit removes both classes from the blind relation list and instead iterates the source user's Profile_User and Group_User records, calling can(-1, CREATE, $data) on each before insertion, so only assignments the acting session could legitimately grant are carried over. Accompanying functional tests assert that a Technician cloning the Super-Admin user does not inherit Super-Admin, that cross-entity authorizations outside the cloner's scope are dropped, and that in-scope profiles and group memberships are still copied. Note the scoring divergence in the supplied data: the CVSS 4.0 vector carries PR:H while the independent CVSS 3.1 assessment uses PR:L, and the operative view is that a low-privileged authenticated Technician session is sufficient, provided the acting profile actually holds user creation/cloning capability.

DescriptionCVE.org

GLPI 10.0.0 before 10.0.28 and 11.0.0 before 11.0.10 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability that allows authenticated users to obtain elevated profiles by cloning accounts. A user with the Technician profile can clone a Super-Admin account with a new login and password, since User::getCloneRelations() copies every Profile_User and Group_User assignment without permission checks, yielding an attacker-controlled Super-Admin account.

Technical POC Analysis

CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management): the user-cloning path replicates authorization records without checking whether the cloning session is allowed to grant them.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A privilege-escalation flaw in GLPI, the IT asset and helpdesk platform, allows any authenticated Technician-level user to clone a Super-Admin account and take full control of the administrative login. Because Technicians are common throughout service-desk operations, the population able to trigger this is broad, and successful abuse grants complete administrative control over the GLPI environment and the sensitive asset, inventory and credential data it holds. Leadership should care because this converts a routine support-role account into organization-wide administrative compromise without requiring any external attacker.
