7.8
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Centreon Web 19.04.4 has weak permissions within the OVA (aka VMware virtual machine) and OVF (aka VirtualBox virtual machine) files, allowing attackers to gain privileges via a Trojan horse Centreon-autodisco executable file that is launched by cron.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2019-16406 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 7.8.
