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  '/system/pipelines/' endpoint.

AI Analysis

Impact

Reflected cross-site scripting flaw in Graylog Web Interface version 2.2.3 allows an attacker to inject malicious JavaScript into pages that include parts of a URL in their response. By constructing a specially crafted URL and tricking a user into visiting it, the attacker can run scripts in the victim’s browser, leading to execution of arbitrary client-side code and limited manipulation of the user’s session. The flaw arises from a failure to properly sanitize and escape HTML output when rendering the '/system/pipelines/' endpoint.

Affected Systems

Graylog’s Web Interface console, version 2.2.3 (all preceding versions considered obsolete and insecure).

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.3, indicating moderate severity, and an EPSS score of less than 1 %, suggesting a low probability of exploitation at the time of analysis. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires only a crafted link that a victim follows, making the attack vector straightforward. No attack prerequisites beyond normal web access are identified.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Graylog Web Interface to the latest version where this flaw is fixed.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, block or restrict access to the "/system/pipelines/" endpoint from untrusted sources until a patch can be applied.
  • Implement input validation and output encoding to ensure that any user-supplied data is properly escaped before inclusion in HTML responses.
