Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Not properly invalidated session vulnerability in Graylog Web Interface, version 2.2.3, due to incorrect management of session invalidation after new logins. The application generates a new 'sessionId' each time a user authenticates, but does not invalidate previously issued session identifiers, which remain valid even after multiple consecutive logins by the same user. As a result, a stolen or leaked 'sessionId' can continue to be used to authenticate valid requests. Exploiting this vulnerability would allow an attacker with access to the web service/API network (port 9000 or HTTP/S endpoint of the server) to reuse an old session token to gain unauthorized access to the application, interact with the API/web, and compromise the integrity of the affected account.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Graylog Web Interface 2.2.3 does not invalidate previous session identifiers when a user re-authenticates, creating a session fixation/hijacking vulnerability where multiple valid session tokens can exist simultaneously for the same user account.

MitigationImplement proper session invalidation by invalidating all existing sessions for a user account upon each new successful authentication, ensuring old session tokens become unusable after re-login.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Graylog installation version
    Run command: rpm -q graylog-server or check /etc/graylog/server/server.conf for version metadata, or access Graylog API endpoint /api/system/fields
    Affected if Version returned is exactly 2.2.3
  2. Verify Web Interface is enabled
    Check server.conf for setting 'http_enable' or 'http_bind_address', or confirm port 9000 is listening and accessible
    Affected if Web interface is enabled and accessible on the default Graylog port
  3. Confirm active session behavior
    Create a session, note the session identifier cookie, then authenticate again with the same credentials and check if the original session token remains valid
    Affected if After re-authentication, the old session identifier remains usable and is not invalidated

If Graylog version is exactly 2.2.3 and the web interface is in use, multiple valid sessions can exist simultaneously for the same user account.
