Scope: Changed

Integrity: None
Availability: None

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.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.

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 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.

AI-suggested

1. Apply official patches from Centreon immediately for all affected versions (23.10.0 before 23.10.28, 24.04.0 before 24.04.18, and 24.10.0 before 24.10.13) once available. 2. Restrict and audit elevated privilege accounts rigorously to minimize the number of users who can exploit this vulnerability. 3. Implement strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data within the ACL Action access configuration modules to prevent script injection. 4. Deploy Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in the web application context. 5. Monitor logs for unusual activity related to configuration changes or access patterns indicative of exploitation attempts. 6. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on web application vulnerabilities in monitoring tools. 7. Educate administrators on the risks of stored XSS and the importance of cautious handling of configuration inputs. 8. Consider network segmentation and access controls to limit exposure of the Centreon Infra Monitoring interface to trusted networks and users only.

Description

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation (XSS or 'Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Centreon Infra Monitoring (ACL Action access configuration modules) allows Stored XSS by users with elevated privileges. This issue affects Infra Monitoring: from 24.10.0 before 24.10.13, from 24.04.0 before 24.04.18, from 23.10.0 before 23.10.28.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-8429 can be significant, particularly for those relying on Centreon Infra Monitoring to oversee critical infrastructure, IT operations, and network health. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive monitoring data, administrative credentials, or session tokens, enabling attackers to gain further access to internal systems. This could facilitate lateral movement, espionage, or sabotage within enterprise networks. The confidentiality breach could undermine trust in monitoring data integrity and delay incident response. Although the vulnerability does not directly affect system integrity or availability, the indirect consequences of compromised monitoring tools could disrupt operational awareness and incident management. Organizations in sectors such as energy, telecommunications, finance, and government, which depend heavily on infrastructure monitoring, face elevated risks. The requirement for elevated privileges to exploit the vulnerability somewhat limits the attack surface but also highlights the criticality of securing privileged accounts. Given the interconnected nature of European IT environments and regulatory requirements around data protection (e.g., GDPR), exploitation could also lead to compliance violations and reputational damage.

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.
