CVE-2020-15813 Information

Description

Graylog before 3.3.3 lacks SSL Certificate Validation for LDAP servers. It allows use of an external user/group database stored in LDAP. The connection configuration allows the usage of unencrypted SSL- or TLS-secured connections. Unfortunately the Graylog client code (in all versions that support LDAP) does not implement proper certificate validation (regardless of whether the \Allow self-signed certificates\ option is used). Therefore any attacker with the ability to intercept network traffic between a Graylog server and an LDAP server is able to redirect traffic to a different LDAP server (unnoticed by the Graylog server due to the lack of certificate validation) effectively bypassing Graylog’s authentication mechanism.
