Description
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Session Fixation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24823)
CWE-ID: CWE-384 - Session Fixation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain elevated access to an existing Graylog login session.
The vulnerability exists due to session fixation in the /api/system/sessions endpoint when reauthenticating with an existing session cookie. A remote privileged user can inject a chosen session cookie into a victim's browser to gain elevated access to an existing Graylog login session.
User interaction is required to present a spoofed login screen, and exploitation also requires successful session cookie injection into an existing browser session.
2) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24824)
CWE-ID: CWE-284 - Improper Access Control
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code and disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access control in the /api/system/cluster_config/ endpoint when handling crafted HTTP PUT requests that specify fully qualified class names. A remote user can send a specially crafted request to execute arbitrary code and disclose sensitive information.
Exploitation requires permissions to create and edit cluster configuration entries, and the information disclosure example relies on instantiating java.io.File.
