CVE-2025-47286
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 · uneditedCombodo iTop is a web based IT service management tool. In versions prior to 2.7.13 and 3.2.2, an administrator can, by editing the configuration of the iTop instance, execute code on the server. Versions 2.7.13 and 3.2.2 escape and check the config parameter before executing a command based on it.
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 confidenceCombodo iTop versions prior to 2.7.13 and 3.2.2 allow an administrator to execute arbitrary code on the server by editing the iTop configuration. The vulnerability stems from insufficient validation of configuration parameters before they are used in command execution. Versions 2.7.13 and 3.2.2 address this by escaping and validating config parameters prior to command execution.

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 installed iTop versionLocate the version file or check the configuration file for version information. Typical locations include a version.php file or the main config file in the application root directory.Affected if The version is less than 2.7.13 or greater than or equal to 3.0.0 but less than 3.2.2
-
Locate iTop configuration fileFind the main iTop configuration file, typically named config.php or similar in the application root or conf directory.Affected if The configuration file exists and is writable by the web server user
-
Check for command execution configuration parametersExamine the configuration file for parameters that control external command execution, such as paths to executables, backup commands, or any parameter used in shell execution functions.Affected if The configuration contains parameters that are used in system command execution without proper validation
-
Verify administrator access to configurationConfirm whether the current environment allows administrators to edit the iTop configuration through the web interface or direct file access.Affected if Administrator accounts can modify the configuration file directly
A user is affected if their iTop installation version is below 2.7.13 or between 3.0.0 and 3.2.2 (exclusive), AND administrators have the ability to modify configuration parameters that get used in command execution.

dbcve · scoped2.7.133.2.2
Upgrade to iTop version 2.7.13 or 3.2.2 or later, which properly escapes and validates configuration parameters before executing commands based on them.
Upgrade to iTop 2.7.13 (for 2.x versions) or iTop 3.2.2 (for 3.x versions), or a later stable release if available
- Backup the iTop installation directory and database before proceeding
- Download the appropriate fixed version: iTop 2.7.13 (for 2.x line) or iTop 3.2.2 (for 3.x line) from the official Combodo download area
- Verify the integrity of the downloaded package using checksums if provided
- Put the iTop application in maintenance mode if available, or temporarily restrict access
- Extract and deploy the new version files, overwriting existing files while preserving the conf/production.cnf configuration file
- Run the iTop setup/upgrade process via the web interface or command line to apply any database migrations
- Clear any caches (删除 datamodels/ and data/cache/ directories if they exist)
- Verify the upgrade was successful by logging in and checking the iTop version
