Description
Graylog is a free and open log management platform. From 6.3.0 until 6.3.14, 7.0.9, and 7.1.4, the view update API for saved searches and dashboards permits a user with edit permission but without entity ownership to include a shareRequest that grants owner permissions to an arbitrary account. The selected account can then delete the saved search or dashboard or remove the original owner's access. Graylog Cloud was patched before the advisory was published. This issue is fixed in versions 6.3.14, 7.0.9, and 7.1.4.

AI Analysis

Impact

A user with edit permissions, but not ownership, can submit an update to a saved search or dashboard that includes a shareRequest granting owner rights to an arbitrary account. The added owner can delete the resource or remove the original owner's access. This flaw enables unauthorized privilege escalation and compromise of configuration integrity. The vulnerability is related to CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) and CWE-862 (Missing Authorization).

Affected Systems

Graylog Server versions 6.3.0 through 6.3.14, 7.0.9, and 7.1.4 are affected. The issue was patched in Graylog Cloud before the advisory was published. Users running older builds of these releases are vulnerable unless they have upgraded.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.3 indicates medium severity. The EPSS score is not available, so the prevalence of exploitation cannot be quantified. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. Attackers would need valid credentials with edit access to a saved search or dashboard; exploitation then proceeds via the HTTP API by including a malicious shareRequest. The flaw can be leveraged remotely provided the API is reachable from the attacker’s environment.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor patch by upgrading Graylog to at least version 6.3.14, 7.0.9, or 7.1.4.
  • If an immediate patch is not possible, disable or restrict the ability to include shareRequests in update requests by adjusting API permissions or firewall rules.
  • After applying a patch or restriction, monitor access logs for unauthorized owner grants or deletions of saved searches and dashboards.
