Description

Grafana is an open-source platform for monitoring and observability. Versions prior to 9.1.6 and 8.5.13 are vulnerable to an escalation from admin to server admin when auth proxy is used, allowing an admin to take over the server admin account and gain full control of the grafana instance. All installations should be upgraded as soon as possible. As a workaround deactivate auth proxy following the instructions at: https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/setup-grafana/configure-security/configure-authentication/auth-proxy/ A flaw was found in the grafana package. Auth proxy allows authentication of a user by only providing the username (or email) in an X-WEBAUTH-USER HTTP header. The trust assumption is that a front proxy will take care of authentication and that the Grafana server is only publicly reachable with this front proxy.
