  - GLPI is an open-source asset and IT management software package that provides ITIL Service Desk features,
    licenses tracking and software auditing. In GLPI before version 9.5.4 there is an Insecure Direct Object
    Reference (IDOR) on Solutions. This vulnerability gives an unauthorized user the ability to enumerate
    GLPI items names (including users logins) using the knowbase search form (requires authentication). To
    Reproduce: Perform a valid authentication at your GLPI instance, Browse the ticket list and select any
    open ticket, click on Solution form, then Search a solution form that will redirect you to the endpoint
    /glpi/front/knowbaseitem.php?item_itemtype=Ticket&item_items_id=18&forcetab=Knowbase$1, and the
    item_itemtype=Ticket parameter present in the previous URL will point to the PHP alias of glpi_tickets
    table, so just replace it with Users to point to glpi_users table instead; in the same way,
    item_items_id=18 will point to the related column id, so changing it too you should be able to enumerate
    all the content which has an alias. Since such id(s) are obviously incremental, a malicious party could
    exploit the vulnerability simply by guessing-based attempts. (CVE-2021-21324)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
