CVE-2023-0507

Grafana is an open-source platform for monitoring and observability. <br /> <br /> Starting with the 8.1 branch, Grafana had a stored XSS vulnerability affecting the core plugin GeoMap. <br /> <br /> The stored XSS vulnerability was possible due to map attributions weren&amp;#39;t properly sanitized and allowed arbitrary JavaScript to be executed in the context of the currently authorized user of the Grafana instance. <br /> <br /> An attacker needs to have the Editor role in order to change a panel to include a map attribution containing JavaScript. <br /> <br /> This means that vertical privilege escalation is possible, where a user with Editor role can change to a known password for a user having Admin role if the user with Admin role executes malicious JavaScript viewing a dashboard. <br /> <br /> Users may upgrade to version 8.5.21, 9.2.13 and 9.3.8 to receive a fix.
