In short
- CVE-2020-15813 is a HIGH (CVSS 8.1) vulnerability affecting org.graylog:graylog-parent, graylog (graylog).
- Chance of exploitation in the next 30 days (EPSS): 0.78%, higher than 55.9% of all vulnerabilities.
- Fix: update to 3.3.3 or later.
Description
Graylog before 3.3.3 lacks SSL Certificate Validation for LDAP servers. It allows use of an external user/group database stored in LDAP. The connection configuration allows the usage of unencrypted, SSL- or TLS-secured connections. Unfortunately, the Graylog client code (in all versions that support LDAP) does not implement proper certificate validation (regardless of whether the "Allow self-signed certificates" option is used). Therefore, any attacker with the ability to intercept network traffic between a Graylog server and an LDAP server is able to redirect traffic to a different LDAP server (unnoticed by the Graylog server due to the lack of certificate validation), effectively bypassing Graylog's authentication mechanism.
