CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedAuthenticated users with permission to create or edit alert rules in Grafana can exploit a flaw that allows them to bypass datasource query authorization by designating an alert rule query as a server-side expression. This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data through the configured datasource credentials, potentially exposing information to users without the necessary permissions. Organizations using Grafana should prioritize addressing this issue to protect their data integrity and prevent unauthorized data exposure.
Original NVD Description
An authenticated user with permission to create or edit alert rules can bypass datasource query authorization by marking an alert rule query as a server-side expression while referencing a real datasource UID (incorrect authorization). This can expose data accessible through Grafana's configured datasource credentials to users who lack permission to query that datasource.
