·
Updated

Ech0 before 4.4.3 lacks authorization checks on system log endpoints allowing any authenticated non-admin user to read and stream all server logs. Attackers can access historical logs and real-time log streams via GET /api/system/logs, GET /api/system/logs/stream, and WS /ws/system/logs to gather reconnaissance data including internal file paths, error stack traces, and application state.

Any authenticated Ech0 user who is not an administrator can access the affected system-log endpoints. The attacker only needs a valid non-admin account and network access to the application.

Which interfaces expose the logs?

Historical logs are available through GET /api/system/logs. Real-time logs can be accessed through GET /api/system/logs/stream and the WebSocket endpoint /ws/system/logs.

3

What information could be exposed through the logs?

The exposed historical and live logs may reveal reconnaissance information, including internal file paths, error stack traces, and application state.

4

Which versions are affected?

Ech0 versions before 4.4.3 are affected. Upgrading to 4.4.3 or later addresses the missing authorization checks.
