Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in github.com/grafana/grafana (CVE-2023-1410)

Summary

Cross-site scripting in github.com/grafana/grafana (CVE-2023-1410). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via Functions. Mitigation: upgrade to 9.2.15 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

Grafana is an open-source platform for monitoring and observability. 

Grafana had a stored XSS vulnerability in the Graphite FunctionDescription tooltip.

The stored XSS vulnerability was possible due the value of the Function Description was not properly sanitized.

An attacker needs to have control over the Graphite data source in order to manipulate a function description and a Grafana admin needs to configure the data source, later a Grafana user needs to select a tampered function and hover over the description. 

Users may upgrade to version 8.5.22, 9.2.15 and 9.3.11 to receive a fix.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) (CWE-79) exists in github.com/grafana/grafana. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via Functions.

📍 Affected scope

Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of github.com/grafana/grafana. Attack surface: Functions / aggregateSeriesLists / Explore.

🔥 Severity

Severity: ?. Confidential information can be exposed externally.

🔧 How to fix

Update to 9.2.15.

🛡️ Workaround

Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.

🔍 Detection

Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r 'github.com/grafana/grafana' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify
    grep -r 'github.com/grafana/grafana' . | grep -v node_modules

    リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で github.com/grafana/grafana を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

  2. 2
    Apply patch patch
    Upgrade github.com/grafana/grafana to 9.2.15

    ステージング環境で 9.2.15 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。

  3. 3
    Post-deployment verification verify
    Confirm patched version is live in production

    パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
