Description

Impact

A security issue has been identified in Graylog affecting the parsing of syslog messages that use a key-value format, such as those generated by Fortigate devices.

The vulnerability allows attackers to overwrite individual message fields, or to produce invalid messages which Graylog will discard. This effectively enables log evasion techniques to obscure malicious activity.

Patches

The issue has been fixed in the following Graylog versions: 6.3.12, 7.0.7, 7.1.2. Users should upgrade to one of these versions or above to remediate the vulnerability.

Graylog Cloud has already been patched.

Workarounds

There are no feasible workarounds for this issue. Upgrading to a patched version is recommended.

To find potentially discarded messages due to parsing errors, customers of Graylog Enterprise or Security can check the Indexing and Processing Failures Index^1.
