- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=yes, technicalImpact=partial

## Affected

- YugabyteDB Anywhere: from 2.0.0, through 2.17.3

## Description

The controller responsible for setting the logging level does not include any authorization checks to ensure the user is authenticated. This can be seen by noting that it extends Controller rather than AuthenticatedController and includes no further checks. This issue affects YugabyteDB Anywhere: from 2.0.0 through 2.17.3

## What to do
