CWE-288 Open this link in a new tab

Overview

Affected versions of github.com/snapcore/snapd/daemon are vulnerable to Authentication Bypass. The snap logs command could be made to call journalctl without match arguments and therefore allow unprivileged, unauthenticated users to bypass systemd-journald's access restrictions.

Remediation
