CVE-2026-42318
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. Starting in version 9.5.0 and prior to versions 10.0.25 and 11.0.7, low privilege users with access to planning can delete any object in GLPI. Upgrade to 11.0.7 or 10.0.25 to receive a patch. As a workaround, disable delete rights for User's planning.
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 confidenceGLPI contains a broken access control vulnerability where low-privilege users with planning access can delete any object in the system, regardless of their intended permissions. This is an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) or authorization bypass affecting the planning module.

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 versionLocate the version file or access the GLPI installation directory and check the version number (typically in files like VERSION, config.php, or via the GLPI system information page in the web interface)Affected if The installed version falls within 9.5.0-10.0.24 or equals 11.0.6
-
Confirm planning module is enabledAccess GLPI administration panel, navigate to Setup > Plugins or Setup > Dropdowns to verify if the Planning (or Calendar/Planning) module is active and installedAffected if The Planning module is enabled and accessible to users
-
Verify user planning permissionsGo to Administration > Profiles > select a low-privilege profile > check the Planning permission section to see if any planning-related access rights are granted to non-administrative usersAffected if Low-privilege users (e.g., Self-Service, Observer roles) have any planning access or permissions granted
-
Test object deletion scopeUsing a low-privilege account with only planning access, attempt to delete an object outside the planning domain (e.g., a ticket, document, or inventory item the user should not own or have rights to) to confirm the IDOR conditionAffected if A user with only planning permissions can successfully delete objects they should not have permission to delete
A user is affected if their GLPI version is 9.5.0-10.0.24 or 11.0.6 AND the Planning module is enabled with any access granted to low-privilege users, allowing unauthorized deletion of objects.

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 · scopedUpgrade to GLPI version 10.0.25 or 11.0.7 to receive the patch. Alternatively, as a temporary workaround, disable delete rights for User's planning in the permission settings.
Upgrade to GLPI 10.0.25 or 11.0.7 (whichever matches your current major version branch)
- 1. Identify the current GLPI version by checking the version file or administration interface
- 2. Backup the GLPI database and all files before proceeding with the upgrade
- 3. Download the appropriate fixed version (10.0.25 or 11.0.7) from the official GLPI repository
- 4. Replace the existing GLPI files with the new version files, preserving the config directory
- 5. Run the GLPI upgrade process by accessing the installation URL
- 6. Verify the upgrade was successful by logging in and checking the version
- 7. Test that planning functionality works and the authorization fix is applied
