Graylog is a free and open log management platform. A partial path traversal vulnerability exists in Graylog's `Support Bundle` feature. The vulnerability is caused by incorrect user input validation in an HTTP API resource. Graylog's Support Bundle feature allows an attacker with valid Admin role credentials to download or delete files in sibling directories of the support bundle directory. The default `data_dir` in operating system packages (DEB, RPM) is set to `/var/lib/graylog-server`. The data directory for the Support Bundle feature is always `<data_dir>/support-bundle`.

Read full descriptionShow less

Due to the partial path traversal vulnerability, an attacker with valid Admin role credentials can read or delete files in directories that start with a `/var/lib/graylog-server/support-bundle` directory name. The vulnerability would allow the download or deletion of files in the following example directories: `/var/lib/graylog-server/support-bundle-test` and `/var/lib/graylog-server/support-bundlesdirectory`. For the Graylog Docker images, the `data_dir` is set to `/usr/share/graylog/data` by default. This vulnerability is fixed in Graylog version 5.1.3 and later. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should block all HTTP requests to the following HTTP API endpoints by using a reverse proxy server in front of Graylog. `GET /api/system/debug/support/bundle/download/{filename}` and `DELETE /api/system/debug/support/bundle/{filename}`.

      "value": "Graylog es una plataforma de gestión de logs gratuita y de código abierto. Una vulnerabilidad de salto de ruta parcial existe en la característica 'Support Bundle' de Graylog. La vulnerabilidad es causada por una validación de entrada de usuario incorrecta en un recurso de API HTTP. La característica Support Bundle de Graylog permite a un atacante con credenciales válidas de rol de Administrador descargar o eliminar archivos en directorios hermanos del directorio del paquete de soporte. El 'data_dir' predeterminado en los paquetes del sistema operativo (DEB, RPM) está configurado en '/var/lib/graylog-server'. El directorio de datos para la característica Support Bundle es siempre '/support-bundle'. Debido a la vulnerabilidad de salto de ruta parcial, un atacante con credenciales válidas de rol de Administrador puede leer o eliminar archivos en directorios que comienzan con un nombre de directorio '/var/lib/graylog-server/support-bundle'. La vulnerabilidad permitiría la descarga o eliminación de archivos en los siguientes directorios de ejemplo: '/var/lib/graylog-server/support-bundle-test' y '/var/lib/graylog-server/support-bundlesdirectory'. Para las imágenes de Docker de Graylog, el 'data_dir' está configurado en '/usr/share/graylog/data' por defecto. Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en Graylog versión 5.1.3 y posteriores. Se aconseja a los usuarios que actualicen. Los usuarios que no puedan actualizar deben bloquear todas las solicitudes HTTP a los siguientes puntos finales de la API HTTP utilizando un servidor proxy inverso delante de Graylog. 'GET /api/system/debug/support/bundle/download/{filename}' y 'DELETE /api/system/debug/support/bundle/{filename}'."
