CVE-2025-49145
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, a user that has enough rights to create webhooks (mostly administrators) can drop the database. This is fixed in iTop 2.7.13 and 3.2.2 by verifying callback signature.
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 confidenceThis is an authenticated vulnerability in Combodo iTop where users with webhook creation privileges (typically administrators) can drop the database. The vulnerability exists in versions prior to 2.7.13 and 3.2.2 due to lack of callback signature verification, allowing malicious administrators to execute destructive database operations through the webhook functionality.

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 the installed iTop versionLocate the version number in the iTop installation - typically accessible through the iTop admin dashboard About page, or check version.php or similar version file in the installation directory. Compare your version against the affected ranges: versions < 2.7.13 or >= 3.0.0 and < 3.2.2 are vulnerable.Affected if Your installed version falls within < 2.7.13 or >= 3.0.0, < 3.2.2
-
Verify the webhook module is presentCheck if the webhook functionality is available in your iTop installation. This is typically found as a module under the Webhooks section in the admin interface or in the list of enabled extensions/modules.Affected if The webhook module is installed and enabled in your environment
-
Confirm webhook creation privileges existExamine user profiles and permissions to determine which users or roles have the ability to create or modify webhooks. This is typically found in the User Profiles or Roles administration section under webhook-related permissions.Affected if Any user profile grants webhook creation or modification permissions (typically granted to Administrator profiles)
-
Review existing webhook configurationsInspect the list of configured webhooks in the iTop admin interface. Look for any webhooks that may contain database operation callbacks, particularly those that could execute destructive commands.Affected if There are webhooks configured that invoke database-related callback actions
You are affected if your iTop version is vulnerable (< 2.7.13 or >= 3.0.0 and < 3.2.2) AND the webhook module is enabled AND users with webhook creation privileges exist in your environment.

dbcve · scoped2.7.133.2.2
Upgrade to iTop version 2.7.13 or 3.2.2 which implements callback signature verification. Additionally, limit webhook creation permissions to only essential personnel and audit existing webhook configurations.
Upgrade to iTop 2.7.13 (if on 2.x line) or iTop 3.2.2 (if on 3.x line)
- 1. Back up the iTop database and configuration files before proceeding with any upgrade.
- 2. Download the appropriate fixed version (2.7.13 for iTop 2.x or 3.2.2 for iTop 3.x) from the official Combodo GitHub repository or official distribution channel.
- 3. Place the application in maintenance mode if available, or temporarily restrict access.
- 4. Extract the new version files to replace the existing iTop installation, preserving the conf/config.php configuration file.
- 5. Run the iTop setup/upgrade process by accessing the setup page in a web browser.
- 6. Follow the on-screen upgrade wizard to complete the database schema migration.
- 7. After successful upgrade, verify that webhook functionality works correctly with the new signature verification.
- 8. Remove any temporary maintenance restrictions and restore normal access.
