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 · uneditedAn issue was discovered in Centreon Web 24.10.x before 24.10.3, 24.04.x before 24.04.9, 23.10.x before 23.10.19, 23.04.x before 23.04.24. A user with high privileges is able to achieve SQL injection in the form to upload media.
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 confidenceA SQL injection vulnerability exists in Centreon Web's media upload functionality. An authenticated user with high privileges (administrator-level) can inject malicious SQL queries through the media upload form due to improper input sanitization.

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.
-
Confirm Centreon Web installationCheck if Centreon Web is running in your environment by identifying the web interface or checking for Centreon-related processes/services.Affected if Centreon Web is not installed in your environment.
-
Identify installed Centreon Web versionLocate the Centreon Web version by checking the software documentation for version display location (typically available in the web interface footer, about page, or via command line such as 'rpm -q centreon-web' or 'dpkg -l centreon-web' depending on your OS).Affected if The installed version falls within any of these ranges: >= 23.04.0 and < 23.04.24; >= 23.10.0 and < 23.10.19; >= 24.04.0 and < 24.04.9; >= 24.10.0 and < 24.10.3.
-
Verify administrator-level accounts existCheck if there are user accounts with administrator-level privileges in Centreon by accessing the Administration > Users > Contacts/Users panel in the web interface or querying the database user tables.Affected if There are administrator-level user accounts configured in Centreon.
-
Confirm media upload feature is accessibleVerify that the media upload functionality is accessible by checking if authenticated administrators can access the media/file upload section in Centreon (typically found in Administration > Media or similar upload interfaces).Affected if The media upload functionality is enabled and accessible to administrator users.
-
Review logs for suspicious SQL patterns in upload requestsExamine Centreon logs (application logs and database logs) for unusual SQL syntax or patterns in media upload requests, particularly looking for SQL operators or comments injected into upload parameters.Affected if Logs show SQL injection patterns or unexpected SQL syntax in media upload request parameters.
You are affected if Centreon Web is installed with a version in the affected ranges and administrator-level users can access the media upload functionality.

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 · scoped23.04.2423.10.1924.04.9
Upgrade Centreon Web to one of the patched versions (24.10.3, 24.04.9, 23.10.19, or 23.04.24) to address the SQL injection vulnerability. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict administrative access and monitor for suspicious SQL patterns in media upload requests.
Upgrade to Centreon Web 23.04.24, 23.10.19, 24.04.9, or 24.10.3 (or later) depending on your current major version branch
- 1. Identify the currently installed Centreon Web version by checking the About page in the Centreon web interface or running: centreon -V
- 2. Based on your current version, determine the appropriate upgrade path to a fixed release:
- - If on 23.04.x: upgrade to 23.04.24 or later
- - If on 23.10.x: upgrade to 23.10.19 or later
- - If on 24.04.x: upgrade to 24.04.9 or later
- - If on 24.10.x: upgrade to 24.10.3 or later
- 3. Before upgrading, backup the Centreon database and configuration files
- 4. Follow the official Centreon upgrade documentation for your version branch
