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 a valid but low-privileged authenticated GLPI account (PR:L) and use of the new REST API v2 (the 'HL' API) rather than the web UI - the flaw exists only in the API update flow, which failed to re-apply the per-item and right-based authorization checks the UI enforces. Concretely, the abusable operations are ITIL ticket team-member add/remove/list (endpoints like /Assistance/Ticket/{id}/TeamMember, needing the object's READ and canAssign rights) and entity Transfer (needing the Transfer READ right), plus the statusByService call. Limiting factors: the target must be running GLPI 11.0.0-11.0.7 (the v2 API is 11.x-only), the attacker must already have a functioning account, and AT:P indicates not all objects/actions are uniformly reachable; there is no unauthenticated or UI-interaction path.

Impact

This is a genuine but moderate-priority authorization flaw (CWE-862, broken access control), not a high-CVSS-but-empty finding. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:L, base 6.0) is credible and integrity-focused: a network attacker who already holds a low-privileged authenticated account can perform update operations (e.g., assigning/removing ITIL ticket team members, triggering entity Transfer) that GLPI's UI would deny for that user. The commit diff corroborates the mechanism - the API v2 (HL API) controllers lacked $item->can(READ)/canAssign() and Transfer READ checks that the UI enforces. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit code were provided, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis' - the AT:P (attack requirements present) also signals that not every object/endpoint is trivially reachable. The main tempering factors are PR:L (a valid account is required) and the API-v2-specific nature of the flaw. Note one conflict to verify: the vendor's 4.0 vector sets VC:N (no confidentiality impact), yet the patch also added READ guards to GET team-member endpoints, implying a minor information-disclosure element the official score omits.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker holding a low-privileged authenticated GLPI account (e.g., a basic technician or self-service user) calls the v2 API directly rather than using the web UI - for example POSTing to /Assistance/Ticket/{id}/TeamMember to add or reassign a ticket's assignee/observer, or POSTing to /Transfer - an action the UI would forbid for that profile. Because the API update flow skipped the per-item authorization checks, the operation succeeds, letting the attacker tamper with ticket assignments or entity data. No public exploit code was identified, but the fixing commit and its tests document the exact vulnerable endpoints.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 25, 2026

Missing authorization enforcement in GLPI's REST API v2 (the 'HL' API) lets a low-privileged authenticated user perform ticket team-member add/remove/list operations and entity transfers that the web interface would deny, because the API update flow does not re-apply per-object and per-right checks. Only GLPI 11.0.0 through 11.0.7 are affected - API v2 exists only in the 11.x line - and exploitation requires a valid, working low-privileged account using the API rather than the UI (authentication required, PR:L in both the vendor CVSS 4.0 vector and our assessed CVSS 3.1 vector). Impact is integrity-dominant (I:H) with limited confidentiality/availability effects; a vendor patch is available in 11.0.8 and no public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation was identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade to GLPI 11.0.8, which is the version that adds the missing authorization checks in ITILController (ticket team member read/add/remove now require the object's READ right plus canAssign() for mutations) and in CoreController (statusByService now requires the Transfer READ right); the fix is captured in commit 0fdd973c4bb3f203c6905a62a93512e5ca8604c0 and the release is at https://github.com/glpi-project/glpi/releases/tag/11.0.8, with details in https://github.com/glpi-project/glpi/security/advisories/GHSA-p68f-rv24-mc54. If immediate upgrade is not possible, compensating controls are: disable or block the REST API v2 endpoints entirely at the reverse proxy or web server for untrusted networks (trade-off: this breaks any integrations or scripts using the HL API and must be paired with a UI-only access model), restrict network reachability of the GLPI API to trusted management segments only (trade-off: remote/mobile clients and external integrations lose access), and audit or reduce the profile rights granted to low-privileged accounts - in particular withdraw Transfer rights and ticket team-assignment (canAssign) capabilities from accounts that do not need them, since the flaw is only meaningful when a low-privileged account can reach objects it should not modify (trade-off: tighter profiles may disrupt legitimate helpdesk workflows). As detection, review GLPI API access logs and ticket history for unexpected team-member additions/removals and for Transfer operations performed by accounts lacking the corresponding UI rights, since the API path will show these actions even though the UI would have refused them.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the new GLPI high-level API (HL API v2, introduced in GLPI 11.x) routes requests through controllers under src/Glpi/Api/HL/Controller/ and relied on the UI layer's rights model without consistently re-checking it. The vendor fix commit 0fdd973c4bb3f203c6905a62a93512e5ca8604c0 adds explicit checks in two controllers. In ITILController.php, the getTeamMembers, getTeamMembersByRole, addTeamMember and removeTeamMember handlers now call $item->can($item->getID(), READ) and, for the mutating operations, additionally $item->canAssign() before proceeding, returning an access-denied response otherwise. In CoreController.php, statusByService now requires Session::haveRight(Transfer::$rightname, READ). Ticket team-member endpoints are reached at paths such as /Assistance/Ticket/{id}/TeamMember (POST to add, DELETE to remove, GET to list, plus role-scoped GET variants like .../TeamMember/requester|observer|assigned), while entity transfer is reached via /Transfer. The accompanying functional tests assert HTTP access-denied responses when the corresponding profile right (Transfer or Ticket) is set to 0, confirming that the defect class is an authorization-check omission in the API layer rather than an authentication bypass of credentials. The vendor's CVSS 4.0 vector marks AT:P (attack requirements present), reflecting that not every object or action is uniformly reachable and that preconditions (the specific object rights, target version) matter.

DescriptionCVE.org

GLPI is a free asset and IT management software package. From 11.0.0 until 11.0.8, a low-privileged authenticated user can use the new API (v2) to perform update operations that the same user is normally forbidden to perform through the user interface. The API update flow does not consistently enforce the applicable authorization checks. This issue is fixed in version 11.0.8.
