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
The DataInjection plugin for GLPI 2.15.6 (GLPI 11 builds) concatenates user-supplied CSV field values directly into SQL queries during CSV import, without parameterization or escaping, resulting in authenticated SQL injection. An authenticated user with access to the Data injection feature can embed SQL expressions such as SLEEP() in a mapped field (for example Serial Number) to manipulate the generated query and extract database information via time-based blind injection.

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

The DataInjection plugin for GLPI concatenates CSV field values directly into SQL queries during import without parameterization or escaping. An authenticated user with DataInjection access can embed SQL expressions like SLEEP() into mapped fields (e.g., Serial Number), enabling time-based blind SQL injection to extract database information.

MitigationReplace direct string concatenation with parameterized queries/prepared statements for all SQL queries incorporating user-supplied CSV data. Apply input validation as defense-in-depth and restrict DataInjection feature access to minimal required users.

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. Confirm GLPI installation exists
    Check for GLPI by looking for its characteristic directories (like 'glpi/', 'front/', 'inc/') or its configuration file (like 'config_db.php') in the web root. Access the GLPI login page via HTTP to verify the application is running.
    Affected if GLPI is not installed - the vulnerability does not apply.
  2. Identify if DataInjection plugin is installed
    Check the GLPI plugins directory (commonly at 'glpi/plugins/' or '/var/www/html/glpi/plugins/') for a DataInjection plugin folder. Alternatively, log into GLPI as an administrator and navigate to Setup > Plugins to list all installed plugins.
    Affected if DataInjection plugin is not installed - the vulnerability does not apply.
  3. Check DataInjection plugin version
    In the GLPI admin interface under Setup > Plugins, locate the DataInjection plugin entry and note its version number. If using the file system, check the plugin's main PHP file (e.g., 'setup.php' or 'plugin.xml') for the version declaration.
    Affected if Plugin version is within the affected range (older, unpatched versions contain the flaw).
  4. Verify DataInjection module is enabled
    Log into GLPI as an administrator, go to Setup > Plugins, and confirm the DataInjection plugin shows as 'Enabled' (not 'Disabled' or 'Not installed'). Alternatively, check the 'glpi_plugin_datainjection_profile' database table or the plugin configuration files.
    Affected if The plugin is disabled - the injection point is not accessible.
  5. Confirm user has DataInjection access rights
    In GLPI, go to Administration > Profiles, select a profile, and check if the 'DataInjection' permission is granted under the Profile tab. Alternatively, query the 'glpi_profiles_users' table joined with 'glpi_plugin_datainjection_profiles' to identify users with DataInjection rights.
    Affected if No user has DataInjection access - the vulnerability cannot be exploited, though the flaw still exists in code.

A user is affected if GLPI with the DataInjection plugin is installed, the plugin is enabled, and at least one authenticated user has DataInjection access rights, allowing them to inject SQL via CSV field mapping.

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.
