Remoteinventory task command injection when using ssh command mode

High
g-bougard published GHSA-39vc-hxgm-j465 Jun 21, 2023

Package

glpi-agent (glpi-agent)

Affected versions

<1.5

Patched versions

1.5

Description

Impact

If GLPI-Agent is running remoteinventory task against an Unix platform with ssh command, an administrator user on the remote can manage to inject a command in a specific workflow the agent would run with the privileges it uses. In the case, the agent is running with administration privileges, a malicious user could gain high privileges on the computer glpi-agent is running on. A malicious user could also disclose all remote accesses the agent is configured with for remoteinventory task.

Patches

Upgrade to GLPI-Agent 1.5

Workarounds

Upgrade to GLPI-Agent latest nightly build and force remoteinventory mode to libssh2 adding ?mode=libssh2 to the remote url.
Or you can disable the vulnerable code by setting no-category configuration to process,virtualmachine,video,drive,database,storage.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
