CVE-2022-25151
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 · uneditedWithin the Service Desk module of the ITarian platform (SAAS and on-premise), a remote attacker can obtain sensitive information, caused by the failure to set the HTTP Only flag. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain access to the management interface by using this vulnerability in combination with a successful Cross-Site Scripting attack on a user.
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 confidenceThe Service Desk module in ITarian (both SAAS and on-premise) fails to set the HTTP Only flag on session cookies. This allows JavaScript code injected via XSS to access and exfiltrate session cookies, enabling attackers to hijack authenticated user sessions and gain access to the management interface.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify your Itarian product variantDetermine whether you are running Itarian On Premise or Itarian SaaS Service Desk. Check the product documentation, about page, or login screen for the product name.Affected if Running either Itarian On Premise or SaaS Service Desk
-
Check the installed version numberLocate the version information in the Itarian application (typically in Help > About or System > Version). Compare the version to 6.35.37347.20040.Affected if Version is lower than 6.35.37347.20040
-
Verify Service Desk module is enabledCheck if the Service Desk module is active in your Itarian installation. This is usually found in the modules or plugins section of the administration console.Affected if Service Desk module is enabled and in use
-
Inspect session cookies for HTTP Only flagLog into the Service Desk interface, open browser developer tools (F12), go to Application > Cookies, and examine each session cookie. Alternatively, capture a login response with curl or a proxy and check the Set-Cookie headers for the presence of the HttpOnly attribute.Affected if Session cookies do NOT contain the HttpOnly attribute in their Set-Cookie header or cookie definition
You are affected if your Itarian version is below 6.35.37347.20040, the Service Desk module is enabled, and your session cookies lack the HttpOnly flag.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped6.35.37347.20040
Configure the Service Desk module to set the HTTP Only flag on all session cookies. Until the vendor patch is applied, users should be protected from XSS attacks through input validation and Content Security Policy.
6.35.37347.20040 or later
- Upgrade the ITarian Service Desk (both On-Premise and SaaS) to version 6.35.37347.20040 or later
- After upgrade, verify that the HTTP Only flag is set on session cookies by inspecting Set-Cookie headers in browser developer tools or using a web vulnerability scanner
- Test that the application functions normally after the upgrade
