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: High: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable component that could affect component-wide settings and files.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
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: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

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 Infra Monitoring to 25.10.2, 24.10.15 or 24.04.19.

AI-suggested

1. 2. Restrict access to the Centreon Infra Monitoring interface to only trusted, high-privilege users and enforce strong authentication and authorization controls. 3. Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit the execution of untrusted scripts within the web application context. 4. Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules specifically designed to detect and block XSS payloads targeting Centreon. 5. Conduct regular security audits and input validation reviews on custom configurations or plugins that interact with the Hosts configuration forms. 6. Educate privileged users about the risks of injecting untrusted input and enforce strict change management policies. 7. Monitor logs and user activity for unusual behavior that could indicate exploitation attempts. 8. Consider network segmentation to isolate monitoring systems from general user networks to reduce exposure.

Description

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation (XSS or 'Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Centreon Infra Monitoring (Hosts configuration form modules) allows Stored XSS to users with high privileges. This issue affects Infra Monitoring: from 25.10.0 before 25.10.2, from 24.10.0 before 24.10.15, from 24.04.0 before 24.04.19.

Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive monitoring data, session hijacking, or unauthorized actions performed in the context of privileged users. Since Centreon Infra Monitoring is widely used for IT infrastructure and network monitoring, exploitation could compromise the confidentiality of operational data and potentially facilitate further attacks within the network. The requirement for high privileges limits the attack surface to trusted users or insiders, but the stored nature of the XSS means that other users with access to the monitoring interface could be impacted. This could disrupt incident response and monitoring activities, leading to delayed detection of other threats. Organizations in sectors such as energy, telecommunications, finance, and government, which rely heavily on infrastructure monitoring, may face increased risk. Additionally, the cross-site scripting could be used as a stepping stone for more complex attacks, including privilege escalation or lateral movement within the network.

Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Implementation · Architecture and Design
Understand the context in which your data will be used and the encoding that will be expected. This is especially important when transmitting data between different components, or when generating outputs that can contain multiple encodings at the same time, such as web pages or multi-part mail messages.
