CVE-2026-55425 — Graylog: System Catalog titles endpoint can be used to retrieve values of protected database fields
Graylog is a free and open log management platform. From 7.1.0 until 7.1.4 and 7.2.0-alpha.2, the System Catalog entity titles endpoint in graylog2-server/src/main/java/org/graylog2/rest/resources/system/contentpacks/titles/EntityTitleServiceImpl.java allows an authenticated user to request composite display fields without verifying that every selected field is readable. A user can retrieve protected values, including the password hash on a readable user record; ordinary users are limited to their own permitted records, while administrators can retrieve hashes for all users. This issue is fixed in versions 7.1.4 and 7.2.0-alpha.2.
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- Technical severity (medium)+3
The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).
Triage
Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.
CISA SSVC assessment CISA
Three decision points CISA publishes for the CVEs it assesses (SSVC 2.0.3). A stakeholder decision, not a severity score.
Remediation
Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.
No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.
- Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Graylog2 Graylog2-server).
- No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
- Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.
