CVE-2024-39842
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 · uneditedA SQL injection vulnerability in Centreon 24.04.2 allows a remote high-privileged attacker to execute arbitrary SQL command via user massive changes inputs.
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 · moderate confidenceA SQL injection vulnerability exists in Centreon 24.04.2 where the 'user massive changes' feature does not properly sanitize user inputs before incorporating them into SQL queries. A remote attacker with high-privileged (administrator-level) access can inject arbitrary SQL commands through these inputs to execute them against the database.

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.
-
Verify Centreon versionCheck the installed Centreon version. This can typically be done via the web interface (usually displayed in the footer or in Administration > About), or by examining version files in the Centreon installation directory.Affected if The installed version is exactly 24.04.2.
-
Confirm access to user massive changes featureLocate the 'user massive changes' feature in Centreon. This is typically found in the user management or administration section of the web interface. Verify if this feature is accessible to your user account.Affected if The 'user massive changes' feature exists and is accessible in the installed Centreon instance.
-
Verify administrator-level privilegesCheck the privilege level of your current user account. In Centreon, go to Administration > Users > Contacts/Users and verify the access level assigned to your account (Administrator, or equivalent high-privilege role).Affected if Your account has administrator-level or equivalent high-privileged access to Centreon.
-
Inspect SQL query handling in user managementReview the Centreon configuration and access logs for the user management functionality, particularly the massive changes feature. Examine how user inputs are processed when modifying multiple users simultaneously.Affected if The massive changes feature processes user input without visible parameterization or sanitization in the query construction.
A user is affected if they are running Centreon exactly version 24.04.2 with administrator access and the user massive changes feature is available and used.

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 · scopedUpgrade Centreon to the vendor-provided patch version. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict administrative access and monitor database query logs for suspicious activity in the user management functionality.
Centreon 24.04.3 or later stable release (check official Centreon security advisory for exact version)
- 1. Backup your Centreon database and configuration files before making any changes
- 2. Download the latest Centreon 24.04.x stable release from the official Centreon download page or GitHub repository
- 3. Review the Centreon security advisory (thewatch.centreon.com) for this specific CVE to confirm the exact fixed version
- 4. Upgrade Centreon to the fixed version following the standard upgrade documentation
- 5. After upgrade, verify the massive changes functionality works correctly
- 6. Test that the SQL injection vulnerability is no longer exploitable
