LOW 3.3UPGRADE
CVE-2023-31135 is a low-severity flaw (CVSS 3.3) affecting dgraph. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
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. A
Why this priority
- No elevated risk signals yet
A fixed release or distro patch exists.
