Attack Vector: Network
Attack Complexity: Low

User Interaction: None
Scope: Changed
Confidentiality: High
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
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB

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 2026-10-25.

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

To mitigate CVE-2025-8430, European organizations should: 1) Immediately upgrade Centreon Infra Monitoring to the latest patched versions beyond 23.10.28, 24.04.18, or 24.10.13 as applicable. 2) Restrict elevated privileges strictly to trusted administrators and enforce the principle of least privilege to reduce the risk of exploitation. 3) Implement strong authentication and session management controls to prevent unauthorized access to privileged accounts. 4) Conduct regular code reviews and input validation audits on custom configurations or plugins that interact with the Commands Connectors modules. 5) Monitor web application logs for unusual script injection attempts or anomalous behavior indicative of XSS exploitation. 6) Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit the execution of unauthorized scripts within the web interface. 7) Educate administrators about the risks of stored XSS and safe handling of configuration inputs. 8) Consider network segmentation to isolate monitoring infrastructure from less trusted network zones to limit exposure. 9) Prepare incident response plans that include detection and remediation steps for XSS attacks within monitoring tools.

Description

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation (XSS or 'Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Centreon Infra Monitoring (Commands Connectors 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-2025-8430 can be significant, especially in sectors relying heavily on Centreon Infra Monitoring for infrastructure and network monitoring such as energy, telecommunications, finance, and government. The vulnerability allows attackers with elevated privileges to inject persistent malicious scripts, which could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive monitoring data, session hijacking, or further exploitation of the monitoring environment. Although integrity and availability are not directly impacted, confidentiality breaches could expose critical operational details or credentials, increasing the risk of subsequent attacks. The requirement for elevated privileges limits the attack surface but does not eliminate risk, as insider threats or compromised privileged accounts could exploit this flaw. Given the interconnected nature of European critical infrastructure, a successful attack could have cascading effects beyond the initial target. Furthermore, compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations means that data leakage incidents could result in regulatory penalties 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.
