Overview
The cybersecurity landscape is continually evolving with new threats and vulnerabilities emerging every day. In this context, we turn our attention to a significant vulnerability identified in Centreon web, specifically in the monitoring event logs module. The vulnerability, designated CVE-2025-6791, is an SQL Injection risk that can potentially lead to system compromise or data leakage. Given Centreon’s widespread usage for IT infrastructure monitoring, this vulnerability could potentially affect a broad range of organizations and should be immediately addressed to ensure the security of critical data and systems.

How the Exploit Works
This vulnerability is due to the improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command, commonly referred to as an SQL Injection vulnerability. In this case, an attacker can manipulate the HTTP request on the monitoring event logs page to insert a malicious payload into the database. This could potentially allow them to execute arbitrary SQL commands, leading to unauthorized access to data, data manipulation, or even system compromise.
Conceptual Example Code
Here is a conceptual example of how this vulnerability might be exploited in the form of an altered HTTP request:
POST /monitoring/logs HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
event='; DROP TABLE members; --In this example, the payload `’; DROP TABLE members; –` is injected into the ‘event’ field in the form data, which could cause the SQL command `DROP TABLE members` to be executed, resulting in the deletion of the ‘members’ table from the database. This is a simple example, and real-world exploits might be more complex and damaging.
Mitigation Guidance
The most direct way to mitigate this vulnerability is to apply the vendor-supplied patches for the affected versions of Centreon web. The patched versions are 24.10.9, 24.04.16, and 23.10.26, respectively.
As a temporary mitigation, organizations can employ a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to block attempts to exploit this vulnerability. However, this should be considered a temporary solution until the vendor patches can be applied. Long term, organizations should also consider implementing secure coding practices to prevent SQL Injection vulnerabilities from arising in the first place.
