Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 23 Aug 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade centreon/centreon to 24.04.3, 23.10.13, 23.04.19 or 22.10.23.

AI-suggested

Organizations should immediately verify their Centreon Web version and upgrade to the fixed releases 24.04.3, 23.10.13, 23.04.19, or 22.10.23 as applicable. If immediate patching is not possible, implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL Injection patterns targeting the Timeperiod component. Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on any custom integrations or plugins interacting with Centreon Web. Restrict network access to Centreon Web interfaces to trusted IP ranges and enforce strong network segmentation to limit exposure. Monitor logs for unusual database queries or error messages indicative of injection attempts. Regularly audit Centreon Web configurations and database permissions to minimize potential damage from exploitation. Stay informed through official Centreon security advisories for any additional patches or mitigation guidance.

Description

A SQL Injection vulnerability exists in the Timeperiod component in Centreon Web 24.04.x before 24.04.3, 23.10.x before 23.10.13, 23.04.x before 23.04.19, and 22.10.x before 22.10.23.

Impact

The impact of CVE-2024-33853 is significant for organizations relying on Centreon Web for monitoring critical IT infrastructure. Exploitation can result in unauthorized access to sensitive monitoring data, including system statuses, network configurations, and potentially credentials stored within the database. Attackers could manipulate monitoring data, causing false alerts or hiding real issues, which undermines operational security and incident response. The integrity of the monitoring system is compromised, potentially leading to prolonged undetected outages or breaches. Since the vulnerability requires no authentication, attackers can exploit it remotely, increasing the attack surface. This poses a risk to organizations of all sizes, especially those in sectors where IT monitoring is critical, such as finance, healthcare, telecommunications, and government. The absence of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive mitigation before widespread exploitation occurs.

CWE-89Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #2OWASP Top 10 A05:2025: Injection (opens in a new tab)
The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Architecture and Design · Parameterization
If available, use structured mechanisms that automatically enforce the separation between data and code. These mechanisms may be able to provide the relevant quoting, encoding, and validation automatically, instead of relying on the developer to provide this capability at every point where output is generated.
Architecture and Design · Operation · Environment Hardening
Run your code using the lowest privileges that are required to accomplish the necessary tasks. If possible, create isolated accounts with limited privileges that are only used for a single task. That way, a successful attack will not immediately give the attacker access to the rest of the software or its environment.
