CVE-2023-4640

Summary

CVE-2023-4640 is a vulnerability affecting versions 2.0.0 through 2.17.3 of YugabyteDB Anywhere. This issue lies in the controller responsible for setting the logging level, which lacks authorization checks. Consequently, an unauthenticated user can manipulate the logging level, potentially leading to security breaches. The controller, which should extend AuthenticatedController, omits any further access control checks, making it an unguarded entry point for unauthorized users.
