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
GLPI stands for Gestionnaire Libre de Parc Informatique. GLPI is a Free Asset and IT Management Software package that provides ITIL Service Desk features, licenses tracking and software auditing. Time based attack using a SQL injection in api REST user_token. This issue has been patched, please upgrade to version 10.0.4. As a workaround, disable login with user_token on API Rest.

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

A time-based SQL injection vulnerability exists in the GLPI REST API authentication mechanism using user_token. An attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted requests to the API endpoint, potentially gaining unauthorized access to the database and executing arbitrary SQL commands.

MitigationUpgrade GLPI to version 10.0.4 or later. As an alternative workaround, disable login with user_token on the REST API configuration.

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. Check installed GLPI version
    Locate the version.php or version.inc file in your GLPI installation directory, or access the GLPI front page which typically displays the version number
    Affected if The installed version is greater than or equal to 9.1 and less than 10.0.4
  2. Verify REST API is enabled
    Access the GLPI Administration panel, navigate to Setup > General > API, or check the configuration file for 'enable_api' setting set to true
    Affected if REST API is enabled and the version is in the affected range
  3. Confirm user_token authentication is permitted
    In GLPI Administration panel under Setup > General > API, check if the option 'Enable login with user_token' or 'api_user_token' authentication is enabled
    Affected if User_token based authentication is allowed in the API configuration and the version is in the affected range

You are affected if your GLPI version is 9.1 or higher but below 10.0.4, the REST API is enabled, and user_token authentication is permitted in the API settings

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.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 10.0.4 or later
Fixed in 10.0.4
Interim mitigation

Upgrade GLPI to version 10.0.4 or later. As an alternative workaround, disable login with user_token on the REST API configuration.

Recommended fix High confidence

10.0.4

  1. 1. Back up your GLPI database and the entire GLPI installation directory
  2. 2. Back up your configuration file (config_db.php) if upgrading manually
  3. 3. Download GLPI version 10.0.4 from the official source (glpi-project.org)
  4. 4. Replace the existing GLPI files with the new version files
  5. 5. Restore your config_db.php file if performing a manual upgrade
  6. 6. Run the GLPI upgrade process by accessing the application in a web browser
  7. 7. Verify that the application functions correctly after upgrade
  8. 8. If the user_token API login is not needed, consider disabling it in the API settings as an additional security measure
Caveat Major version upgrade from 9.x to 10.x may include breaking changes; review the GLPI 10.0 release notes before upgrading
