Incorrect Log File Permissions in Progress MarkLogic Server

Short explanation

Progress MarkLogic Server 12.x and 11.x releases assign overly permissive operating-system permissions to certain log files. This could allow a local user to read or alter log data.

Why does it matter?

Because local users reading or altering sensitive log data can lead to confidentiality and integrity violations, this vulnerability carries a high severity.

What should be done?

  • Follow vendor advisories and updates
  • Manually review permissions of existing log files

Show the technical text from the sources

Progress MarkLogic Server 12.x releases before 12.1.0 and 11.x releases before 11.3.7 assign overly permissive operating-system permissions to certain log files, which could allow a local user to read or alter log data. The corrected default permissions apply to newly created and rotated logs; existing logs retain their current permissions until remediated.
