| Impact | The provided CVSS 7.3 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) accurately characterizes this as a network-exploitable, low-complexity flaw with substantial confidentiality and integrity impact but constrained by two prerequisites: authenticated access (PR:L) and victim interaction (UI:R). EPSS data was not included in the available intelligence, so automated exploitation probability cannot be quantified. This CVE is not listed in CISA KEV, and no public exploit code has been identified, indicating no confirmed widespread exploitation. The PR:L gating is meaningful in an ITSM context - iTop commonly grants portal access to contractors or end users, so the attacker population is not negligible, but it is bounded. UI:R prevents fully automated attack chains. Real-world risk is moderate: the C:H/I:H impact creates high damage potential per successful exploitation, but the combination of authenticated access and required social engineering substantially limits opportunistic exploitation. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 21, 2026
Reflected XSS in Combodo iTop prior to version 3.2.3 allows an authenticated low-privilege attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript via the unsanitized dashboard_id parameter in the dashboard revert endpoint /pages/ajax.render.php. When a crafted URL is opened by a higher-privileged victim, the payload executes in their browser context, enabling session hijacking or unauthorized actions performed under the victim's identity. No CISA KEV listing or public proof-of-concept exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: iTop 3.2.3. Upgrade immediately to version 3.2.3 or later, which resolves the vulnerability by switching the dashboard_id parameter to use utils::ENUM_SANITIZATION_FILTER_CONTEXT_PARAM sanitization in /pages/ajax.render.php. The fix is confirmed by commit https://github.com/Combodo/iTop/commit/104dd1970f3ad828896a5092b125edb4bc1340b6 and the advisory at https://github.com/Combodo/iTop/security/advisories/GHSA-gccc-8mw3-hqhp. As a compensating control prior to patching, deploy a WAF rule to strip or reject non-alphanumeric characters from the dashboard_id parameter in requests to /pages/ajax.render.php; note that overly aggressive rules may break legitimate dashboard IDs containing hyphens or underscores. Alternatively, restricting access to the dashboard revert endpoint to administrator-only roles reduces the attacker population, at the cost of removing self-service dashboard management for lower-privileged users.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Combodo iTop is a PHP-based web ITSM platform (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:combodo:itop:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The root cause (CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) is located in /pages/ajax.render.php, where the dashboard_id parameter was retrieved using utils::ReadParam(..., 'raw_data') - a filter mode that applies no output sanitization, allowing raw user input to be reflected into the HTTP response. The confirmed fix (commit 104dd1970f3ad828896a5092b125edb4bc1340b6) replaces this with utils::ENUM_SANITIZATION_FILTER_CONTEXT_PARAM, which properly encodes context parameters before rendering. As a reflected (non-persistent) XSS, the payload is embedded in a crafted URL rather than stored server-side, requiring the attacker to deliver it out-of-band to a victim.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Combodo iTop is a web based IT service management tool. Prior to 3.2.3, iTop has a reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in its dashboard revert functionality with the parameter dashboard_id in /pages/ajax.render.php. This issue has been fixed in version 3.2.3.
Executive ViewAI
Combodo iTop versions prior to 3.2.3 contain a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the dashboard management interface that allows authenticated users to inject malicious code and hijack sessions of higher-privileged administrators. Organizations running affected versions face risk of unauthorized administrative actions and sensitive data access by attackers who already have legitimate system access with limited privileges.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include: (1) deploy WAF rules to sanitize dashboard_id parameter inputs and reject requests containing script tags or event handlers; (2) restrict access to /pages/ajax.render.php via IP whitelist, VPN requirement, or network segmentation; (3) enforce multi-factor authentication for all administrative accounts to reduce impact of potential session hijacking; (4) implement comprehensive audit logging with real-time alerting on suspicious dashboard_id parameter patterns; (5) educate high-privilege users to avoid clicking untrusted links referencing the dashboard functionality.
