Description
Graylog is a free and open log management platform. From 7.1.0 until 7.1.4 and 7.2.0-alpha.2, the System Catalog entity titles endpoint in graylog2-server/src/main/java/org/graylog2/rest/resources/system/contentpacks/titles/EntityTitleServiceImpl.java allows an authenticated user to request composite display fields without verifying that every selected field is readable. A user can retrieve protected values, including the password hash on a readable user record; ordinary users are limited to their own permitted records, while administrators can retrieve hashes for all users. This issue is fixed in versions 7.1.4 and 7.2.0-alpha.2.

AI Analysis

Impact

Graylog’s System Catalog titles endpoint fails to verify that each requested field is readable, allowing an authenticated user to retrieve protected data such as password hashes. This flaw represents an information disclosure vulnerability (CWE‑213). The endpoint is accessible only after authentication, so an attacker must possess valid credentials to exploit it, but permission levels determine the breadth of data recoverable.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability is present in Graylog2 server versions 7.1.0 through 7.1.4 and in 7.2.0‑alpha.2. Administrators can retrieve hashes for all users, while ordinary users are limited to their own permitted records. The issue is located in EntityTitleServiceImpl.java and was fixed in releases 7.1.4 and 7.2.0‑alpha.2.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 5 indicates a moderate severity. EPSS information is not available and the flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Because the endpoint requires an authenticated session, exploitation is likely to rely on legitimate credentials; administrators can obtain all user hashes, increasing the potential damage.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Graylog2 server to version 7.1.4 or newer (or to 7.2.0-alpha.2) to apply the vendor patch.
  • Apply stricter API access controls so that only privileged roles can query the System Catalog titles endpoint, preventing ordinary users from requesting arbitrary fields.
  • Audit user accounts for exposed password hashes and rotate credentials for any accounts that may have been compromised.
