CVE-2023-22481
No affected components available
FreshRSS is a self-hosted RSS feed aggregator. When using the greader API, the provided password is logged in clear in users/_/log_api.txt in the case where the authentication fails. The issues occurs in authorizationToUser() in greader.php. If there is an issue with the request or the credentials, unauthorized() or badRequest() is called. Both these functions are printing the return of debugInfo() in the logs. debugInfo() will return the content of the request. By default, this will be saved in users/_/log_api.txt and if the const COPY_LOG_TO_SYSLOG is true, in syslogs as well. Exploiting this issue requires having access to logs produced by FreshRSS. Using the information from the logs, a malicious individual could get users' API keys (would be displayed if the users fills in a bad username) or passwords.
The vulnerability can be exploited over a local network, such as Wi-Fi. It is difficult for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability and may require special conditions. An attacker needs high-level or administrative privileges. The attacker needs the user to perform some action, like clicking a link. The impact is confined to the system where the vulnerability exists. There is a high impact on the confidentiality of the information.
Limited exploitation activity has been observed. Close monitoring and planned remediation are recommended.
The exploit probability is very low. The vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in the next 30 days.
