Description

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in Centreon 2.5.1 and Centreon Enterprise Server 2.2 (fixed in Centreon web 2.5.3) allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via (1) the index_id parameter to views/graphs/common/makeXML_ListMetrics.php, (2) the sid parameter to views/graphs/GetXmlTree.php, (3) the session_id parameter to views/graphs/graphStatus/displayServiceStatus.php, (4) the mnftr_id parameter to configuration/configObject/traps/GetXMLTrapsForVendor.php, or (5) the index parameter to common/javascript/commandGetArgs/cmdGetExample.php in include/.

        This module exploits several vulnerabilities on Centreon 2.5.1 and prior and Centreon
        Enterprise Server 2.2 and prior. Due to a combination of SQL injection and command
        injection in the displayServiceStatus.php component, it is possible to execute arbitrary
        commands as long as there is a valid session registered in the centreon.session table.
        In order to have a valid session, all it takes is a successful login from anybody.
        The exploit itself does not require any authentication.
        This module has been tested successfully on Centreon Enterprise Server 2.2.
