CVE-2021-32752: Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties in ether/logs

Ether Logs is a package that allows one to check one's logs in the Craft 3 utilities section. A vulnerability was found in versions prior to 3.0.4 that allowed authenticated admin users to access any file on the server. The vulnerability has been fixed in version 3.0.4. As a workaround, one may disable the plugin if untrustworthy sources have admin access.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

Ether Logs for Craft 3 had a high-severity flaw before version 3.0.4 that let authenticated admin users access any file on the server. The main business risk is sensitive file exposure or broader server impact if an admin account is untrusted or compromised.

Executive priority

Prioritize remediation for any internet-facing Craft 3 site using this plugin. The flaw requires admin privileges, so urgency is highest where admin accounts are broadly assigned or account compromise is plausible.

Technical view

CVE-2021-32752 affects ethercreative/logs versions before 3.0.4. The issue is classified as CWE-552 and has CVSS 3.1 score 7.2 with PR:H, meaning exploitation requires authenticated admin privileges. Vendor sources state the fix is in 3.0.4.

Likely exposure

Exposure is limited to Craft 3 installations using the Ether Logs plugin below 3.0.4, especially where admin access is shared, delegated, weakly controlled, or potentially compromised.

Exploitation context

The source bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or public active exploitation evidence. The vulnerability still matters because a malicious or compromised admin user could access server files through the vulnerable plugin.

Researcher notes

Evidence is concise but direct: affected versions are below 3.0.4, the vulnerable condition is authenticated admin file access, and the vendor states 3.0.4 fixes it. No exploit details or telemetry are provided in the bundle.

Mitigation direction

  • Upgrade Ether Logs to version 3.0.4 or later.
  • Disable the plugin if untrusted users have admin access.
  • Review who has Craft admin privileges and remove unnecessary accounts.
  • Check vendor guidance before applying any nonstandard workaround.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory Craft 3 sites for the Ether Logs plugin.
  • Confirm installed Ether Logs versions are 3.0.4 or later.
  • Verify the plugin is disabled where immediate upgrade is not possible.
  • Review admin account access for untrusted or stale users.
