Privilege escalation: Unauthorized access to arbitrary endpoints (CVE-2022-39328)

Summary

An internal security audit identified a race condition in the Grafana codebase, which allowed an unauthenticated user to query an arbitrary endpoint in Grafana. A race condition in the HTTP context creation could result in an HTTP request being assigned the authentication/authorization middlewares of another call. Under heavy load, it is possible that a call protected by a privileged middleware receives the middleware of a public query instead. As a result, an unauthenticated user can successfully query protected endpoints. The CVSS score for this vulnerability is 9.8 Critical.

Impact

Unauthenticated users can query arbitrary endpoints with malicious intent.

Impacted versions

All installations for Grafana versions >=9.2.x.

Solutions and mitigations

To fully address CVE-2022-39328, please upgrade your Grafana instances. Appropriate patches have been applied to Grafana Cloud.

Privilege escalation: Usernames/email addresses cannot be trusted (CVE-2022-39306)

Summary

Grafana admins can invite other members to the organization they are an admin for. When admins add members to the organization, non-existing users get an email invite while existing members are added directly to the organization. When an invite link is sent, it allows anyone with access to the link to sign up with whatever username/email address the user chooses and become a member of the organization. The CVSS score for this vulnerability is 6.4 Moderate.

Impact

Vulnerability makes it possible to use the invitation link to sign up with an arbitrary username/email with a malicious intent.

Impacted versions

All installations for Grafana versions Grafana <=9.x, <8.x

Solutions and mitigations

To fully address CVE-2022-39306, please upgrade your Grafana instances. Appropriate patches have been applied to Grafana Cloud.

Username enumeration (CVE-2022-39307)

Summary

When using the forget password on the login page, a POST request is made to the /api/user/password/sent-reset-email URL. When the username or email does not exist, a JSON response contains a “user not found” message.

The CVSS score for this vulnerability is 5.3 Moderate.

Impact

The impacted endpoint leaks information to unauthenticated users and introduces a security risk.

Impacted versions

All installations for Grafana versions Grafana <=9.x, <8.x

Solutions and mitigations

To fully address CVE-2022-39307, please upgrade your Grafana instances. Appropriate patches have been applied to Grafana Cloud.
