CVSS Score

Description

Potential log injection in reset user endpoint in CKAN

A user endpoint didn't perform filtering on an incoming parameter, which was added directly to the application log. This could lead to an attacker injecting false log entries or corrupt the log file format.

Patches

This has been fixed in the CKAN 2.9.11 and 2.10.4 versions

Workarounds

Override the /user/reset endpoint to filter the id parameter in order to exclude newlines

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. A user must be tricked into taking some action. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity low, availability none.
