Graylog token revocation endpoint allows authenticated users to delete other users’ access tokens

Graylog contains an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) vulnerability in the token revocation endpoint. An authenticated user can delete access tokens belonging to other users, including service account tokens and administrator tokens, if they know or can guess a valid token identifier. The issue does not expose token contents, but it allows unauthorized token deletion, leading to integrity impact and potential availability impact for access token based integrations.

Graylog Server: System Catalog titles endpoint can be used to retrieve values of protected database fields

A vulnerability was found in Graylog's API endpoint for retrieving system catalog entity titles. Authenticated users could retrieve database fields of supported entities by sending a custom API request. These fields can include e.g. the password hash of a user (but not the password itself), which should not be returned through the API, regardless of the endpoint. Permission checks do still apply, so users can retrieve their own password hash, …

Fortigate syslog message parser can be exploited to modify or delete fields from the original message

A security issue has been identified in Graylog affecting the parsing of syslog messages that use a key-value format, such as those generated by Fortigate devices. The vulnerability allows attackers to overwrite individual message fields, or to produce invalid messages which Graylog will discard. This effectively enables log evasion techniques to obscure malicious activity.

Graylog Allows Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Files Plugin and API Browser

Two minor vulnerabilities were identified in the Graylog2 enterprise server, which can be combined to carry out a stored cross-site scripting attack. An attacker with the permission FILES_CREATE can exploit these vulnerabilities to upload arbitrary Javascript code to the Graylog2 server, which - upon requesting of the file by a user of the API browser - results in the execution of this Javascript code in the context of the Graylog …

Graylog Allows Session Takeover via Insufficient HTML Sanitization

It is possible to obtain user session cookies by submitting an HTML form as part of an Event Definition Remediation Step field. For this attack to succeed, the attacker needs a user account with permissions to create event definitions, while the user must have permissions to view alerts. Additionally, an active Input must be present on the Graylog server that is capable of receiving form data (e.g. a HTTP input, …

Session Fixation

Graylog is a free and open log management platform. Starting in version 4.3.0 and prior to versions 5.1.11 and 5.2.4, reauthenticating with an existing session cookie would re-use that session id, even if for different user credentials. In this case, the pre-existing session could be used to gain elevated access to an existing Graylog login session, provided the malicious user could successfully inject their session cookie into someone else's browser. …

Incorrect Authorization

Graylog is a free and open log management platform. Starting in version 2.0.0 and prior to versions 5.1.11 and 5.2.4, arbitrary classes can be loaded and instantiated using a HTTP PUT request to the /api/system/cluster_config/ endpoint. Graylog's cluster config system uses fully qualified class names as config keys. To validate the existence of the requested class before using them, Graylog loads the class using the class loader. If a user …

Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity

Graylog is a free and open log management platform. Graylog makes use of only one single source port for DNS queries. Graylog binds a single socket for outgoing DNS queries and while that socket is bound to a random port number it is never changed again. This goes against recommended practice since 2008, when Dan Kaminsky discovered how easy is to carry out DNS cache poisoning attacks. In order to …

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

Graylog is a free and open log management platform. A partial path traversal vulnerability exists in Graylog's Support Bundle feature. The vulnerability is caused by incorrect user input validation in an HTTP API resource. Graylog's Support Bundle feature allows an attacker with valid Admin role credentials to download or delete files in sibling directories of the support bundle directory. The default data_dir in operating system packages (DEB, RPM) is set …

Insufficient Session Expiration

Graylog is a free and open log management platform. In a multi-node Graylog cluster, after a user has explicitly logged out, a user session may still be used for API requests until it has reached its original expiry time. Each node maintains an in-memory cache of user sessions. Upon a cache-miss, the session is loaded from the database. After that, the node operates solely on the cached session. Modifications to …
