Description
Ech0 before 4.4.3 fails to enforce administrator authorization on dashboard log endpoints, allowing any authenticated user to access system logs. Attackers with valid user sessions can query GET /api/system/logs and subscribe to SSE and WebSocket log streams to retrieve sensitive operational data including file paths, stack traces, and internal URLs.

AI Analysis

Impact

Ech0 applications before version 4.4.3 do not enforce administrator rights on dashboard log endpoints. Any authenticated user can send a GET request to /api/system/logs and subscribe to server‑sent events and WebSocket streams. The payload of these endpoints includes file paths, stack traces, and internal URLs, giving an attacker the ability to read sensitive operational data and potentially analyze the system for further attacks.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Ech0 product from the vendor lin‑snow. All installations using a version earlier than 4.4.3 are vulnerable; no specific patch version is listed as affected beyond this cutoff.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates a high–moderate severity, while the EPSS score is not available, so the current exploitation probability is unknown. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers must first obtain valid authentication, but any authenticated user can use the exposed endpoints, making exploitation straightforward once a session is available. Consequently, this flaw poses a significant confidentiality risk to organizations running Ech0 before 4.4.3.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Ech0 to version 4.4.3 or later to apply the missing authorization fix.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, configure the web server or reverse proxy to restrict access to /api/system/logs and related SSE/WebSocket endpoints to administrator accounts only, for example by IP or LDAP filtering.
  • Disable the SSE and WebSocket log streams if they are not required for operational monitoring, to reduce the exposed data surface.
