CVE-2025-53357
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, 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 0.78 through 10.0.18, a connected user can alter the reservations of another user. This is fixed 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 confidenceThis is a broken access control (likely IDOR) vulnerability in GLPI's reservation management system. An authenticated user can modify reservations belonging to other users due to insufficient authorization checks on reservation modification endpoints.

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 your GLPI versionLocate the GLPI version number in the application (typically found in the footer of the web interface, in a version.php file, or in the database configuration table)Affected if The installed version is 0.78 or higher but lower than 10.0.19
-
Confirm the reservation module is activeVerify that the Reservations feature is enabled in your GLPI instance - check the GLPI configuration or plugin status to confirm the reservation management system is installed and activeAffected if The reservation management module is enabled and the version check shows a vulnerable version
-
Identify reservation modification endpointsExamine the web application routes or URL patterns used for reservation modification actions (typically URLs containing 'reservation' and action parameters like 'update' or 'modify')Affected if Reservation modification endpoints exist and the version is vulnerable
-
Test for unauthorized reservation modificationAs an authenticated user with standard privileges, attempt to modify a reservation known to belong to a different user by manipulating the reservation ID parameter in modification requestsAffected if You can successfully modify another user's reservation without proper authorization errors
-
Review reservation access control logsCheck GLPI application logs or audit trails for reservation modification events to identify any unauthorized cross-user reservation changesAffected if Logs show modification of reservations by users who do not own those reservations
Your environment is affected if GLPI version is 0.78 or higher but below 10.0.19 and the reservation management module is enabled, allowing authenticated users to modify reservations they do not own.

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 · scoped10.0.19
Upgrade GLPI to version 10.0.19 or later to obtain the vendor patch. Verify that reservation authorization controls function correctly after upgrade.
10.0.19
- Create a complete backup of your GLPI database and files before proceeding
- Download GLPI version 10.0.19 from the official GLPI website or GitHub repository
- Extract the new version files to replace your current installation
- Run the GLPI migration script/updater by accessing the glpi/install/ directory via web browser
- Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the database migration to version 10.0.19
- Verify that the upgrade completed successfully by logging into GLPI
- Test that users can no longer modify other users' reservations (IDOR vulnerability is fixed)
