CVSS 8.8 HighCriticalEPSS 0.35 · 98th percentile

Critical, because:

  • CVSS score 8.8 (7.0 or more) and EPSS 0.35 (0.1 or more): a high score and a real chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Machine-written summary

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

Graylog (org.graylog2:graylog2-server) versions from 2.0.0 before 5.1.11, and 5.2.0-alpha.1 before 5.2.4, are affected. An attacker with an account holding the clusterconfigentry:create and clusterconfigentry:edit permissions, which are usually granted only to Admin users, can send a crafted HTTP PUT request to the cluster config API to load and instantiate arbitrary classes, potentially running code or exposing file contents. Upgrade to version 5.1.11 or 5.2.4.
