In versions 6.2.0 to before 6.2.4 and 6.3.0-alpha.1 to before 6.3.0-rc.2, Graylog users can gain elevated privileges by creating and using API tokens for the local Administrator or any other user for whom the malicious user knows the ID. For the attack to succeed, the attacker needs a user account in Graylog. They can then proceed to issue hand-crafted requests to the Graylog REST API and exploit a weak permission check for token creation. This issue has been patched in versions 6.2.4 and 6.3.0-rc.2. A workaround involves disabling the respective configuration found in System > Configuration > Users > \"Allow users to create personal access tokens\".","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","score":8.8},"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":["CWE-285"],"references":["https://github.com/Graylog2/graylog2-server/commit/6936bd16a783c2944a3d2f1e83902062520f90e3","https://github.com/Graylog2/graylog2-server/commit/9215b8f1fd32566c31e6f7447ed864df3590c157","https://github.com/Graylog2/graylog2-server/security/advisories/GHSA-3m86-c9x3-vwm9"],"products":["graylog:graylog"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:04:28.436527499+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-53106","score":0.00608,"percentile":0.49089,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-3m86-c9x3-vwm9","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-3m86-c9x3-vwm9","summary":"Graylog vulnerable to privilege escalation through API tokens","modified":"2025-07-02T19:32:13.290042Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.graylog2:graylog2-server","purl":"pkg:maven/org.graylog2/graylog2-server","ranges":[">=6.2.0 <6.2.4"],"fixed":["6.2.4"]},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.graylog2:graylog2-server","purl":"pkg:maven/org.graylog2/graylog2-server","ranges":[">=6.3.0-alpha.1 <6.3.0-rc.2"],"fixed":["6.3.0-rc.2"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
