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 | Exploitation requires that the attacker holds a valid iTop account with sufficient privileges to access the OQL query testing page (PR:L per CVSS vector), and that a target user with equal or higher privileges clicks an attacker-crafted URL while authenticated to the same iTop instance (UI:R per CVSS vector). The OQL query testing feature (pages/run_query.php) must be reachable by the attacker's account. What limits exploitation: user interaction is mandatory - passive browsing is not sufficient; the attacker must themselves be an authenticated iTop user; and the victim must follow the malicious link during an active session. No special non-default server configuration is required beyond a standard iTop installation once the attacker has a valid account. |
| Impact | The CVSS 8.0 score with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H reflects a network-exploitable, low-complexity reflected XSS requiring that the attacker hold a valid iTop account (PR:L) and that a victim user click an attacker-crafted link while authenticated (UI:R). These conditions meaningfully limit opportunistic mass exploitation - this is not a fire-and-forget unauthenticated attack. The high C/I/A scores are plausible for an ITSM platform where compromising an administrator's session yields control over IT infrastructure records, change tickets, and configuration data; however, the A:H rating is debatable for a reflected XSS where direct availability impact is not a primary vector. No EPSS data, CISA KEV listing, or public proof-of-concept exploit was present in the intelligence sources, indicating no confirmed active exploitation and suggesting this has not yet attracted broad attacker attention. Organizations running multi-user iTop deployments with privileged administrators who use the OQL query testing feature should treat this as a moderate-to-high priority patch. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated iTop user with access to the OQL query testing page crafts a malicious URL pointing to run_query.php with a query parameter that injects JavaScript into the $sAfter expression segment. The attacker delivers this URL to a higher-privileged iTop user (such as a system administrator); when that user clicks the link while logged into iTop, the injected script executes in their browser, enabling session token exfiltration, credential harvesting, or unauthorized ITSM actions performed under the victim's identity. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 21, 2026
Reflected XSS in Combodo iTop's OQL query testing interface (run_query.php) allows authenticated attackers to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browser sessions of other authenticated users. All iTop versions prior to 3.2.3 are affected; the vendor has released a patch in 3.2.3 confirmed by a public GitHub advisory and commit. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Combodo iTop to version 3.2.3 or later, which includes the HTML-escaping fix applied in commit 61e5536b500dbf6be3574c5517eaafea27cbfec7 (https://github.com/Combodo/iTop/commit/61e5536b500dbf6be3574c5517eaafea27cbfec7). The vendor advisory is at https://github.com/Combodo/iTop/security/advisories/GHSA-m592-x5r5-w2r2. If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, restrict access to pages/run_query.php to only the most trusted administrative accounts - this reduces the pool of potential victims who could be targeted by a crafted link, though it does not eliminate the vulnerability. Placing the iTop admin interface behind a VPN or IP allowlist also limits attacker delivery of the reflected payload but requires the attacker to already be on the trusted network segment to be effective.

Technical ContextAI · show details
iTop is a PHP-based web application for IT service management. The vulnerability resides in pages/run_query.php within the ShowExamples() function, which renders OQL (Object Query Language) query expression suggestions as HTML. The variable $sAfter - representing the trailing portion of a query string after a highlighted suggestion keyword - was concatenated directly into the HTML output without sanitization, allowing attacker-controlled content to reach the browser as executable script. The fix in commit 61e5536b wraps $sAfter with utils::EscapeHtml() before rendering. CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) describes this root cause class precisely. The CPE identifier cpe:2.3:a:combodo:itop:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* scopes all variants of the Combodo iTop product prior to the patched release.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Combodo iTop is a web based IT service management tool. Prior to 3.2.3, there is a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the testing OQL query functionality. This issue has been fixed in version 3.2.3.
Executive ViewAI
Combodo iTop deployments running versions before 3.2.3 contain a reflected XSS vulnerability in the query interface that allows an authenticated user to compromise other users' sessions and administrative privileges through a crafted malicious link. This threatens IT operations continuity and data confidentiality for organizations relying on iTop for change management and infrastructure control. A vendor patch is available in version 3.2.3.
Apply vendor patch.
