Description
Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Graylog Web Interface console, version 2.2.3, caused by a lack of proper sanitization and escaping in HTML output. Several endpoints include segments of the URL directly in the response without applying output encoding, allowing an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript code when a user visits a specially crafted URL. Exploitation of this vulnerability may allow script execution in the victim's browser and limited manipulation of the affected user's session context, through the  '/

alerts

/' endpoint.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability resides in the Graylog Web Interface version 2.2.3, where input from the URL is reflected in the HTML response without proper sanitization. An attacker can craft a URL that injects malicious JavaScript, which will run in the victim's browser and can potentially hijack or tamper with their session context when they visit the /alerts/ endpoint.

Affected Systems

Graylog Web Interface, version 2.2.3.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a moderate impact. The EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a very low probability of exploitation at this time. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, so no confirmed exploits are publicly known. Exploitation requires the victim to open a crafted link, so the attack vector is primarily through phishing or social engineering. Once executed, the script runs with the privileges of the logged‑in user.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

It is recommended to update the software to the latest version, where the vulnerability described has already been mitigated. For the affected version, the vulnerability is not mitigated, as the manufacturer considers all versions prior to the current one to be obsolete.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Graylog to the latest version where the issue is fixed.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, restrict access to the /alerts/ endpoint and enforce a strict Content‑Security‑Policy header to disallow inline scripting.
  • Educate users to avoid clicking suspicious links and verify link authenticity before accessing the Graylog console.
