Description
An access control vulnerability was discovered in Grafana OSS where an Organization administrator could permanently delete the Server administrator account. This vulnerability exists in the DELETE /api/org/users/ endpoint.<br />
<br />
The vulnerability can be exploited when:<br />
<br />
1. An Organization administrator exists<br />
<br />
2. The Server administrator is either:<br />
<br />
- Not part of any organization, or<br />
- Part of the same organization as the Organization administrator<br />
Impact:<br />
<br />
- Organization administrators can permanently delete Server administrator accounts<br />
<br />
- If the only Server administrator is deleted, the Grafana instance becomes unmanageable<br />
<br />
- No super-user permissions remain in the system<br />
<br />
- Affects all users, organizations, and teams managed in the instance<br />
<br />
The vulnerability is particularly serious as it can lead to a complete loss of administrative control over the Grafana instance.
