GLPI is an open-source IT asset management system used by organizations to track hardware, software, and support tickets. A flaw in the account cloning feature allows authenticated users with a Technician profile to create a copy of a Super-Admin account under their own control, granting them complete administrative access to the system. An attacker could use this to compromise the entire IT environment managed by GLPI.

Technical details

The User::getCloneRelations() method copies all Profile_User and Group_User assignments without performing permission validation during account cloning. An authenticated Technician can exploit this to clone a Super-Admin account, obtaining a new account with identical administrative privileges but under attacker control. This represents a privilege escalation from Technician to Super-Admin via insufficient authorization checks in the cloning logic.
