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 · unedited
GLPI, which stands for Gestionnaire Libre de Parc Informatique, is a Free Asset and IT Management Software package, that provides ITIL Service Desk features, licenses tracking and software auditing. In versions 10.0.0 to before 10.0.19, a connected user without administration rights can change the rules execution order. This issue has been patched in version 10.0.19.

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

GLPI versions 10.0.0 through 10.0.18 contain a broken access control vulnerability where authenticated non-administrator users can modify the execution order of business rules. This allows privilege escalation by altering rule prioritization, potentially bypassing intended workflow controls.

MitigationUpgrade GLPI to version 10.0.19 or later. Verify that non-admin users can no longer modify rule execution order after the patch.

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 GLPI version
    Check the version number in the footer of any GLPI page, or look at the version file (glpi/inc/constant.php or version.php) in the installation directory
    Affected if The version is 10.0.0 through 10.0.18 inclusive
  2. Confirm business rules feature is active
    Navigate to Administration > Business Rules (or Rules menu) in the GLPI web interface and verify the module is accessible
    Affected if Business rules module is enabled and accessible in the UI
  3. Identify authenticated user role
    Log in as a non-administrator user account and check the user profile in Administration > Users > [user] > Profile tab
    Affected if The logged-in user has a profile WITHOUT Super-Admin or Administration rights
  4. Test rule execution order modification
    As a non-admin user, attempt to access Business Rules > Rule Order or similar interface to reorder rules, and submit a change
    Affected if Non-admin user can successfully access and modify the execution order of business rules

You are affected if running GLPI version 10.0.0-10.0.18 AND non-administrator users can access and modify business rule execution order, allowing potential privilege escalation through rule prioritization changes.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade GLPI to version 10.0.19 or later. Verify that non-admin users can no longer modify rule execution order after the patch.

Recommended fix High confidence

GLPI 10.0.19

  1. Backup your GLPI database and files before upgrading
  2. Verify your current GLPI version is between 10.0.0 and 10.0.18
  3. Download GLPI version 10.0.19 from the official GitHub repository or your distribution method
  4. Follow the standard GLPI upgrade procedure: stop web server, replace files with new version, restart web server
  5. Run the migration script if prompted during first access after upgrade
  6. Log in and verify that non-admin users can no longer modify rule execution order in the administration interface
  7. Test that normal GLPI functionality remains intact
Caveat Review the GLPI 10.0.19 changelog for any breaking changes or required database migrations before upgrading
