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: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 1 Jul 2025
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 2026-10-26.

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 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 pluginsglpi/escalade to 2.9.11.

AI-suggested

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should immediately upgrade the escalade plugin to version 2.9.11 or later. Beyond patching, organizations should implement strict network segmentation to limit access to GLPI servers, ensuring that only authorized personnel and systems can communicate with the ticketing system. Employing multi-factor authentication (MFA) for GLPI access can reduce the risk of unauthorized use. Regularly auditing user permissions and roles within GLPI and its plugins will help detect and prevent privilege escalation attempts. Monitoring GLPI logs for unusual access patterns or failed access attempts can provide early detection of exploitation attempts. Additionally, organizations should consider deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules tailored to detect and block suspicious requests targeting GLPI endpoints. Finally, maintaining an up-to-date inventory of GLPI versions and plugins across the enterprise will facilitate timely patch management.

Description

Escalade GLPI plugin is a ticket escalation process helper for GLPI. Prior to version 2.9.11, there is an improper access control vulnerability. This can lead to data exposure and workflow disruptions. This issue has been patched in version 2.9.11.

Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a risk to the confidentiality and integrity of IT service management data. Unauthorized access to ticket escalation processes can lead to exposure of sensitive information, such as incident details, user data, or internal workflows. Disruption of escalation workflows may delay incident resolution, impacting operational continuity and service levels. Organizations in sectors with strict data protection regulations, such as finance, healthcare, and government, could face compliance issues if sensitive data is exposed. Additionally, the disruption of IT service management workflows could indirectly affect business operations and customer satisfaction. Given GLPI's adoption in various European public and private sectors, the vulnerability could have a broad impact if left unpatched, particularly in organizations that have not implemented strict network segmentation or additional access controls around their GLPI instances.

Pillar weaknessCWE Top 25 (2025): #19OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The product does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor.
MITRE discourages mapping vulnerabilities to this broad entry; the root cause is usually a more specific weakness.
Architecture and Design · Operation
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Architecture and Design · Separation of Privilege
Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
