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.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

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

To mitigate CVE-2024-33854, organizations should immediately identify all Centreon Web instances and verify their versions against the affected releases. Applying the latest patches or updates provided by Centreon that address this SQL Injection vulnerability is the most effective mitigation. If patches are not yet available, organizations should consider temporary workarounds such as restricting network access to Centreon Web interfaces using firewalls or VPNs, limiting exposure to trusted administrators only. Implementing Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block SQL Injection attempts targeting Centreon Web can provide additional protection. Regularly auditing and monitoring logs for suspicious SQL query patterns or anomalous access attempts can help detect exploitation attempts early. Additionally, following secure coding practices and input validation for custom plugins or extensions in Centreon Web can reduce risk. Organizations should also ensure database accounts used by Centreon Web have the least privileges necessary to limit damage if exploited. Finally, maintaining an incident response plan that includes Centreon Web monitoring systems will help quickly contain and remediate any compromise.

Description

A SQL Injection vulnerability exists in the Graph Template 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-2024-33854 is significant for organizations relying on Centreon Web for monitoring IT infrastructure. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive monitoring data, including system statuses, network configurations, and potentially credentials stored in the database. Attackers could manipulate monitoring data, causing false alerts or hiding critical system failures, which undermines operational security and incident response. The integrity of monitoring systems is crucial for maintaining uptime and security posture; thus, this vulnerability could indirectly facilitate further attacks or prolonged outages. Since exploitation requires no authentication or user interaction, the attack surface is broad, increasing the likelihood of automated scanning and exploitation attempts. Organizations in sectors such as finance, healthcare, telecommunications, and government, where Centreon Web is used to monitor critical infrastructure, face heightened risks of data breaches and operational disruption. The lack of known exploits in the wild currently provides a window for proactive mitigation before widespread attacks occur.

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.
