Combodo iTop is a web based IT service management tool.Prior to 3.2.3, an unauthenticated user could delete the .readonly file on iTop instances - a file created during the setup process that prevents users from performing write actions. This issue has been fixed in version 3.2.3.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated deletion of the iTop .readonly write-protection file is possible in Combodo iTop prior to version 3.2.3, allowing any remote attacker to remove a critical filesystem-based access control mechanism. The .readonly file is created during the setup process specifically to block write operations on the iTop instance; its deletion effectively disables that safeguard without any credentials. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | No special conditions are required beyond network reachability of the iTop web interface - the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms this is a remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity attack against default iTop deployments that have completed the setup process (which creates the `.readonly` file). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L captures the network-accessible, zero-friction nature of this attack, but the I:L/A:L ratings may understate the downstream consequence: removing write protection unlocks the ability to perform configuration and data modifications that the protection was explicitly designed to block, potentially serving as a prerequisite for further compromise. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade Combodo iTop to version 3.2.3 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch as confirmed by the GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-2xh3-r27f-3pr5 at https://github.com/Combodo/iTop/security/advisories/GHSA-2xh3-r27f-3pr5. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
