SESSION ID LEAK IN GRAYLOG DEBUG LOG FILE AND AUDIT LOG
We recently discovered a session ID leak in the Graylog DEBUG log file as well as the audit log. This means a user can take over a session ID to authenticate against Graylog, and once they’ve done so, the user has access to all the permissions associated with the owner of the session ID.
The ID was printed in DEBUG level log messages (DEBUG is not enabled by default) as well as the Graylog Enterprise Audit Log. By default, the Graylog Audit Log is only logging to the local database and only accessible by Graylog administrators.
We would like to thank David Herbstmann for discovering and responsibly disclosing this vulnerability.
AFFECTED VERSIONS
- Local DEBUG log file session ID leak: since Graylog v0.20.0
- Audit log session ID leak: since Graylog v2.1.1
