CVE-2022-23498

Severity High
Score 8.8/10

Summary

Grafana is an open-source platform for monitoring and observability. When datasource query caching is enabled, Grafana caches all headers, including "grafana_session". As a result, any user that queries a datasource where the caching is enabled can acquire another user’s session. To mitigate the vulnerability you can disable datasource query caching for all datasources. This vulnerability affects versions 8.3.0-beta1 through 8.5.15, 9.0.0-beta1 through 9.2.8, and 9.3.0-beta1 through 9.3.2.
