CVE-2026-26263
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 is a free asset and IT management software package. From 11.0.0 to before 11.0.6, an unauthenticated time-based blind SQL injection exists in GLPI's Search engine. This vulnerability is fixed in 11.0.6.
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 confidenceUnauthenticated time-based blind SQL injection vulnerability in GLPI's Search engine affecting versions 11.0.0 through 11.0.5. Attackers can exploit this critical (CVSS 9.8) flaw without credentials to inject malicious SQL queries via the search 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 GLPI installation and versionLocate the GLPI installation directory and check the version file (typically version.php or similar version metadata file in the root GLPI directory). Common paths include /var/www/html/glpi/ or the web root where GLPI is installed.Affected if The installed version is 11.0.0, 11.0.1, 11.0.2, 11.0.3, 11.0.4, or 11.0.5
-
Verify the Search engine is accessibleConfirm that the GLPI web interface Search functionality is enabled and accessible without authentication. The vulnerability exists in the Search engine component.Affected if The Search feature is enabled and exposed (this is the default state in affected versions)
-
Check web server access logs for SQL injection patternsReview web server access logs (Apache, Nginx, etc.) for requests to GLPI search endpoints containing SQL injection payloads such as time-based functions (SLEEP, BENCHMARK) or boolean-based indicators in search parameters.Affected if Log entries show suspicious search parameter patterns with SQL time-delay functions or unusual boolean conditions
-
Examine database query logs for time-based injection signaturesIf database logging is enabled, review MySQL/PostgreSQL logs for unusually long-running queries or patterns indicative of time-based blind SQL injection (repeated SLEEP calls or heavy computational functions).Affected if Database logs show suspicious time-delay queries or unexpected SQL execution patterns originating from GLPI search operations
You are affected if GLPI version 11.0.0 through 11.0.5 is installed and the Search engine feature is accessible, as this is where the unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability resides.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 · scoped11.0.6
Upgrade GLPI to version 11.0.6 or later to apply the vendor patch. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, consider restricting network access to the GLPI instance as a compensating control.
11.0.6
- Create a complete backup of the GLPI database and all files
- Enable maintenance mode to prevent user access during upgrade
- Download GLPI version 11.0.6 from the official GLPI repository (github.com/glpi-project/glpi)
- Extract the new version files
- Replace the existing GLPI installation files with the new 11.0.6 files
- Run any database migration scripts if included (typically automatic on next access)
- Verify the installation by logging in and testing core functionality
- Disable maintenance mode
