CVE-2026-44281
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 0.78 and prior to versions 10.0.25 and 11.0.7, an authenticated user with config READ permission can read a specific asset object. Upgrade to 11.0.7 or 10.0.25 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 confidenceThis is an information disclosure vulnerability in GLPI asset management software where an authenticated user with only config READ permission can access specific asset objects they should not be authorized to view. The vulnerability stems from improper access control enforcement allowing privilege escalation through read access.

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.
-
Confirm GLPI installationLook for GLPI web application files in the web server document root (e.g., /var/www/html/glpi, /www/glpi, or the equivalent path for your web server). Check for the presence of index.php, ajax, or front directories with GLPI-specific files.Affected if GLPI is installed and accessible via web or file system
-
Identify installed GLPI versionCheck the GLPI version by viewing the version file at inc/checksetup.php or looking at the footer of the GLPI login page. Alternatively, access the general setup page when logged in to view the version number.Affected if Unable to determine version or version is below 10.0.25 or 11.0.7
-
Compare version against affected rangesCompare your installed version to the fixed versions: GLPI 10.x versions below 10.0.25 are affected; GLPI 11.x versions below 11.0.7 are affected. Any version below these thresholds contains the vulnerability.Affected if Installed version is 10.0.x below 10.0.25 OR 11.0.x below 11.0.7
-
Verify user permission model existsConfirm that GLPI user authentication and the permission system are active. The vulnerability exploits users with only 'config READ' permission accessing asset objects. Check if user roles and profiles are configured in the GLPI administration panel.Affected if GLPI has active user accounts with assigned profiles containing 'config READ' permission
The environment is affected if GLPI is installed with a version below 10.0.25 (for 10.x branch) or below 11.0.7 (for 11.x branch) and has authenticated users with the 'config READ' permission enabled.

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 GLPI to version 10.0.25 or 11.0.7 as specified in the official advisory. This is a standard application patch requiring no custom code changes.
GLPI 10.0.25 or GLPI 11.0.7
- Back up the current GLPI installation and database before upgrading
- Download GLPI version 10.0.25 or version 11.0.7 from the official GitHub repository or release page
- Follow the official GLPI upgrade documentation to apply the update
- Verify the upgrade was successful and test that the authorization controls now properly restrict asset object access
