Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Centreon 19.10-3.el7 is affected by a SQL injection vulnerability, where an authorized user is able to inject additional SQL queries to perform remote command execution.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in Centreon 19.10-3.el7 allows authorized users to inject arbitrary SQL queries through user inputs, potentially leading to remote command execution on the underlying database server.

MitigationApply vendor patches or upgrade to a patched Centreon version; implement parameterized queries and input validation to prevent SQL injection.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Centreon installation
    Check if Centreon is installed by looking for its web directory (commonly /usr/share/centreon/ or /var/www/html/centreon/) or by running 'rpm -qa | grep centreon' on RHEL/CentOS systems
    Affected if Centreon software is present on the system
  2. Determine installed Centreon version
    Access the Centreon web interface and navigate to the About page (typically /centreon/about.php) or run 'rpm -q centreon' to retrieve the exact version number
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 19.10 (the only affected version per the CVE) or falls within an unpatched 19.10.x release
  3. Verify Centreon web interface is enabled
    Check if the Centreon web service is running by querying the web server status or inspecting the centreon web directory configuration
    Affected if The Centreon web interface is accessible, as the SQL injection is exploited through user inputs in the web application
  4. Confirm user authentication is possible
    Verify that user accounts can be created or accessed in Centreon, as this is an authenticated SQL injection requiring a valid user session
    Affected if Users can log into Centreon, enabling the attack vector for authorized users to inject SQL queries

You are affected if Centreon version 19.10 is installed and its web interface is accessible to authenticated users, since the SQL injection can be exploited through user inputs by anyone with a valid Centreon account.
