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 is a free asset and IT management software package. Starting in version 10.0.4 and prior to version 10.0.25, a technician can store an XSS payload in the asset locked tab. Upgrade to 10.0.25 or 11.0.7 to receive a patch.

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 10.0.4 through 10.0.24 and 11.x before 11.0.7 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the asset locked tab. An authenticated technician can inject malicious JavaScript code that executes when other users view the affected asset, due to insufficient input sanitization of the locked tab content.

MitigationUpgrade GLPI to version 10.0.25 or 11.0.7 or later to patch the XSS vulnerability. Restrict technician-level access until the upgrade is applied if the risk is deemed unacceptable.

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
    Check for GLPI installation by looking for the 'glpi' directory in web root (commonly /var/www/html/glpi, /www/glpi, or C:\inetpub\wwwroot\glpi) and locating the version.php file within the codebase.
    Affected if GLPI is not installed or cannot be located.
  2. Determine installed GLPI version
    Open the version.php file in the GLPI root directory and read the 'version' or 'glpi_version' variable to identify the exact version number.
    Affected if Version is between 10.0.4 and 10.0.24 inclusive, or 11.x prior to 11.0.7.
  3. Verify technician role access
    Log into GLPI as an administrator and navigate to Administration > Users to confirm if technician-level accounts exist with access to asset management functionality.
    Affected if Technician accounts with asset access are present in the system.
  4. Confirm asset locked tab functionality
    As a technician user, navigate to an asset item (such as a computer or peripheral) and verify if the 'Locked' or 'Verouillé' tab is visible and accessible in the asset details page.
    Affected if The asset locked tab feature is present and accessible to authenticated users.

The environment is affected if GLPI version 10.0.4 through 10.0.24 or 11.x prior to 11.0.7 is installed AND the asset locked tab is accessible to authenticated technician users.

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

Upgrade GLPI to version 10.0.25 or 11.0.7 or later to patch the XSS vulnerability. Restrict technician-level access until the upgrade is applied if the risk is deemed unacceptable.

Recommended fix High confidence

10.0.25 or 11.0.7

  1. Backup the GLPI database and all files before proceeding with the upgrade
  2. Download GLPI version 10.0.25 or 11.0.7 from the official GitHub repository (github.com/glpi-project/glpi) or the official website
  3. Extract the new version files to the web server document root
  4. Copy the config directory from the old installation to preserve database connection settings
  5. Ensure file permissions are correctly set (typically www-data or apache user ownership)
  6. Run the upgrade by accessing the GLPI web interface - it will automatically detect and upgrade the database
  7. Clear any cached data (delete files in the tmp/ and cache/ directories)
  8. Verify the installation by logging in and checking the asset locked tab functionality
Caveat Major version upgrades (e.g., 10.x to 11.x) may have breaking changes; review release notes before upgrading and test in a staging environment first
