CVE-2026-48482: CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in glpi-project glpi
GLPI is a free asset and IT management software package. From 11.0.0 until 11.0.8, a form administrator can use Form import with a crafted illustration or scene identifier that traverses outside the intended custom-asset directory. The imported file can be written to an executable server location, allowing a malicious script to be invoked remotely. This issue is fixed in version 11.0.8.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
GLPI versions from 11.0.0 up to but not including 11.0.8 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the Form import functionality. Specifically, an administrator can supply a crafted illustration or scene identifier that escapes the designated custom-asset directory, enabling arbitrary file write to locations that may be executable on the server. This can lead to remote code execution by invoking the malicious script placed via this method. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2026-48482 with a CVSS 4.0 score of 9.4, indicating critical severity. The flaw is resolved in GLPI version 11.0.8.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker with administrator privileges on the Form import feature to write files outside the intended directory, including executable locations on the server. This can lead to remote code execution, compromising the server's integrity and potentially allowing full system control.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade GLPI to version 11.0.8 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigations are specified or required once the official fix is applied.
