Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions YugabyteDB Anywhere versions 2.0.0 through 2.17.3

Description The issue is related to the lack of authorization checks in the controller responsible for setting the logging level. This controller does not ensure that the user is authenticated, as it extends the Controller rather than the AuthenticatedController and includes no further authentication checks.

Recommendations For versions 2.0.0 through 2.17.3, consider implementing authentication checks in the logging level controller to ensure only authenticated users can modify logging settings. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the logging level controller until a patch is available.
