Dgraph is an open source distributed GraphQL database.

Published May 17, 2023CWE-326EPSS 0.15%

Overview

CVE-2023-31135 is a low-severity vulnerability. It was published on May 17, 2023 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.3 (LOW).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.3, rated LOW. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

Dgraph is an open source distributed GraphQL database. Existing Dgraph audit logs are vulnerable to brute force attacks due to nonce collisions. The first 12 bytes come from a baseIv which is initialized when an audit log is created. The last 4 bytes come from the length of the log line being encrypted. This is problematic because two log lines will often have the same length, so due to these collisions we are reusing the same nonce many times. All audit logs generated by versions of Dgraph <v23.0.0 are affected. Attackers must have access to the system the logs are stored on. Dgraph users should upgrade to v23.0.0. Users unable to upgrade should store existing audit logs in a secure location and for extra security, encrypt using an external tool like `gpg`.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
