Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Graylog versions 6.2.0 up to 6.2.4 and 6.3.0-alpha.1 up to 6.3.0-rc.2 are vulnerable to privilege escalation through API tokens. An attacker with a regular user account can send crafted requests to the REST API to create tokens for the local Administrator or other users whose IDs they know, gaining their privileges. Upgrade to 6.2.4 or 6.3.0-rc.2. Before upgrading, you can disable "Allow users to create personal access tokens" under System > Configuration > Users to limit token creation to administrators.
