CVE-2023-23610
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 · uneditedGLPI is a Free Asset and IT Management Software package. Versions prior to 9.5.12 and 10.0.6 are vulnerable to Improper Privilege Management. Any user having access to the standard interface can export data of almost any GLPI item type, even those on which user is not allowed to access (including assets, tickets, users, ...). This issue is patched in 10.0.6.
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 confidenceGLPI versions prior to 9.5.12 and 10.0.6 contain an Improper Privilege Management vulnerability allowing any authenticated user with standard interface access to export data from item types (assets, tickets, users, etc.) they are not authorized to access. The data export function fails to properly enforce access controls.

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 the installed GLPI versionLocate the version.php file in the GLPI root directory and read the $CFG_GLPI['version'] or similar version constant. Alternatively, access the GLPI login page or footer which often displays the version number.Affected if The installed version is prior to 9.5.12 (for 9.x branches) or prior to 10.0.6 (for 10.x branches), or if the version falls between 0.65 and 9.5.11, or between 10.0.0 and 10.0.5.
-
Verify if the data export functionality existsCheck if the export feature is present by navigating to an asset, ticket, or user profile in GLPI and looking for export options (such as export buttons, download options, or CSV/PDF export links) in the standard user interface accessible to authenticated users.Affected if The export functionality is present and accessible in the standard interface.
-
Confirm user access level to the export featureLog in as a standard authenticated user with minimal permissions (not an administrator) and attempt to access the data export feature on item types such as assets, tickets, or users that this user should not have permission to view or export.Affected if A standard authenticated user can access and use the data export function on item types they are not authorized to access, demonstrating the privilege management flaw.
You are affected if your GLPI installation version is 9.5.11 or earlier in the 9.x branch, or 10.0.5 or earlier in the 10.x branch, AND the data export functionality is accessible to standard authenticated users who should not have access to all exported data.

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 · scoped9.5.1210.0.6
Upgrade GLPI to version 10.0.6 (or 9.5.12 for the 9.x branch) to remediate the improper privilege management in the data export functionality.
GLPI 9.5.12 or GLPI 10.0.6 (depending on your current major version branch)
- Identify current GLPI version by checking the dashboard or version file
- Download GLPI 9.5.12 (if currently on 9.x branch) or GLPI 10.0.6 (if currently on 10.x branch) from the official source
- Create a full backup of the GLPI database and files before upgrading
- Follow the standard GLPI upgrade procedure: extract the new version files, preserve the config/local_php file, run the migration scripts via web interface or CLI
- Verify the upgrade was successful and test that the privilege management fix is working
