CVE-2022-23552

Grafana is an open-source platform for monitoring and observability. Starting with the 8.1 branch and prior to versions 8.5.16, 9.2.10, and 9.3.4, Grafana had a stored XSS vulnerability affecting the core plugin GeoMap. The stored XSS vulnerability was possible because SVG files 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 either an external URL to a SVG-file containing JavaScript, or use the `data:` scheme to load an inline SVG-file containing JavaScript. 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 8.5.16, 9.2.10, or 9.3.4 to receive a fix.
