This is applicable to Amazon Managed Grafana and Azure's Grafana as a service offering. ## Privilege escalation (CVE-2022-36062) ### Summary On August 29 we have received a bug report for Grafana role-based access control (RBAC) and confirmed a vulnerability in the Grafana. This vulnerability impacts folders/dashboards with Admin only permissions and where RBAC was ever enabled at least once. When RBAC is enabled, Grafana runs migrations which translate legacy access control permissions into RBAC permissions. The migrations contain a bug, which grants additional access to folders/dashboards which only had Admin role grant, resulting in a privilege escalation where Editors can edit and Viewers can view the folder/dashboard which they should not have access to. The CVSS score for this vulnerability is 6.4 Moderate (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:L). ### Impacted versions All Grafana installations where the [RBAC](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/administration/roles-and-permissions/access-control/) was at least enabled once and there are folders/dashboards with only Admin grant. ### Solutions and mitigations To fully address CVE-2022-36062 please upgrade your Grafana instances. They are only required if you have ever enabled RBAC and have dashboards/folders where Admin is the only permission.. If you can’t upgrade, as a workaround when impacted folder/dashboard is known, the additional permissions can be removed manually. Appropriate patches have been applied to [Grafana Cloud](https://grafana.com/cloud). ### Timeline Here is a timeline starting from when we originally learned of the issue. * 2022-08-27: External report received about a bug in Grafana role-based access control. * 2022-08-30: The bug is confirmed as a vulnerability. * 2022-08-31: Mitigation is applied to Grafana Cloud. * 2022-08-31: Release timeline determined: 2022-09-06 for private customer release, 2022-09-20 for public release. * 2022-09-06: Private release. * 2022-09-20: Public release. ## Reporting security issues If you think you have found a security vulnerability, please send a report to security@grafana.com.
