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

Combodo iTop contains a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability affecting multiple URL endpoints. Attackers can exploit this by tricking authenticated users into submitting malicious requests to those endpoints, potentially performing unauthorized actions within the application.

MitigationUpgrade to iTop version 3.2.0. No workarounds exist; the vulnerable endpoints must be updated to the patched version.

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 iTop installation version
    Access the iTop administrator interface and navigate to the 'About' or 'Version' section typically found in the admin dashboard or help menu. Alternatively, locate the version file in the iTop installation directory (commonly named version.php, datamodel.xml, or similar).
    Affected if The displayed version number is lower than 3.2.0 (e.g., 3.1.x, 3.0.x, 2.x series)
  2. Check version in configuration files
    Open the iTop configuration file (often named config.php or similar in the root installation folder) and look for a version parameter or constant that displays the installed iTop release number.
    Affected if The configuration file reports a version below 3.2.0
  3. Compare installed version to CVE scope
    Review the identified version number against the affected range specified in the CVE: all versions of Combodo iTop prior to version 3.2.0 are vulnerable.
    Affected if The installed version is any release prior to 3.2.0, including 3.1.0, 3.1.1, 3.1.2, and earlier major versions
  4. Confirm iTop is actively in use
    Verify that the iTop instance is a production or development system that processes authenticated user sessions, as the CSRF vulnerability requires authenticated users to be targeted.
    Affected if iTop is deployed and active with user authentication enabled, combined with a version below 3.2.0

The environment is affected if the installed Combodo iTop version is any release prior to 3.2.0.
