Qdrant is a vector similarity search engine and vector database. From 1.9.3 to before 1.16.0, it is possible to append to arbitrary files via /logger endpoint using an attacker-controlled on_disk.log_file path. Minimal privileges are required (read-only access). This vulnerability is fixed in 1.16.0.

GHSA-f632-vm87-2m2f — qdrant has arbitrary file write via `/logger` endpoint

Affected: crates.io: qdrant

### Summary It is possible to append to arbitrary files via /logger endpoint. Minimal privileges are required (read-only access). Tested on Qdrant 1.15.5

### Details `POST /logger` ([Source code link](https://github.com/qdrant/qdrant/blob/48203e414e4e7f639a6d394fb6e4df695f808e51/src/actix/api/service_api.rs#L195)) endpoint accepts an attacker-controlled `on_disk.log_file` path.

There are no authorization checks (but authentication check is present).

This can be exploited in the following way: if configuration directory is writable and `config/local.yaml` does not exist, set log path to `config/local.yaml` and send a request with a log injection payload. The`PATCH /collections` endpoint was used with an invalid collection name to inject valid yaml.

After running the PoC, the content of `config/local.yaml` will be:

```yaml 2025-11-11T23:52:22.054804Z INFO actix_web::middleware::logger: 172.18.0.1 "POST /logger HTTP/1.1" 200 57 "-" "python-requests/2.32.5" 0.009422 2025-11-11T23:52:22.056962Z INFO storage::content_manager::toc::collection_meta_ops: Updating collection hui service: static_content_dir: ..

Some junk log lines are present, but they don't matter as this is still valid yaml.

After that, if qdrant is restarted (via legitimate means or by a OOM/crash),…
