CVE-2025-23046
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. Starting in version 9.5.0 and prior to version 10.0.18, if a "Mail servers" authentication provider is configured to use an Oauth connection provided by the OauthIMAP plugin, anyone can connect to GLPI using a user name on which an Oauth authorization has already been established. Version 10.0.18 contains a patch. As a workaround, one may disable any "Mail servers" authentication provider configured to use an Oauth connection provided by the OauthIMAP plugin.
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 9.5.0 through 10.0.17 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in the Mail servers authentication provider when using OAuth connections via the OauthIMAP plugin. An unauthenticated attacker can connect using any username on which an OAuth authorization has already been established, bypassing normal authentication 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.
-
Determine installed GLPI versionCheck the version.php file in the GLPI root directory, or access the GLPI system information page (Setup > System > Information) to view the installed version numberAffected if Version is 9.5.0 through 10.0.17 (inclusive)
-
Identify Mail servers authentication providersNavigate to Setup > Authentication > Authentication sources in the GLPI admin interface, and review any configured authentication providers of type 'Mail servers'Affected if A Mail servers authentication provider exists and is enabled
-
Verify OAuth configuration for Mail servers authIn the authentication source configuration, examine whether OAuth is enabled and specifically check if the OauthIMAP plugin is selected as the connection methodAffected if OAuth is enabled and OauthIMAP plugin is selected as the connection method
-
Confirm OAuth authorization stateReview user accounts or OAuth authorization records to determine if any OAuth authorizations have been established for mail accounts in the systemAffected if At least one OAuth authorization exists for any user account
You are affected if your GLPI version is between 9.5.0 and 10.0.17 AND you have an active Mail servers authentication provider configured to use OAuth via the OauthIMAP plugin.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 · scoped10.0.18
Upgrade GLPI to version 10.0.18 or later, or disable any Mail servers authentication provider configured to use OauthIMAP plugin OAuth connections as a workaround.
10.0.18
- Backup the GLPI database and files before proceeding with any changes
- Download GLPI version 10.0.18 from the official GLPI repository (github.com/glpi-project/glpi)
- Extract the downloaded archive and replace the existing GLPI files with the new version
- Follow standard GLPI upgrade procedure: run the install/migrate script if needed, or access GLPI to trigger automatic database migration
- Verify the installation by logging in and checking that the version displays as 10.0.18
- Alternatively, as a temporary workaround before upgrading: go to Configuration > Authentication > Authentification sources, locate any 'Mail servers' providers configured to use OAuth connections from the OauthIMAP plugin, and disable or remove them
