CVE-2026-45801: GLPI privilege escalation in debug mode configuration

CVE-2026-45801 · Severity: info · Published 2026-09-25

GLPI is an asset and IT management platform used by organizations to track hardware, software, and IT services. An authenticated user without administrative privileges could bypass security controls to enable debug mode, potentially exposing sensitive technical information that aids in further attacks. This privilege boundary failure was fixed in GLPI versions 10.0.26 and 11.0.8.

Technical details

An insufficient privilege check in the user settings update handler (User.php prepareInputForAdd method) allows authenticated users to modify the use_mode parameter without verifying Config::canUpdate permissions. The fix adds explicit permission validation to strip the use_mode field from user input when the user lacks update privileges. This is a horizontal privilege escalation requiring prior authentication.
