QID 150692: Grafana Improper Access Control Vulnerability (CVE-2023-2183)

Grafana is a multi-platform open source analytics and interactive visualization web application. It provides charts, graphs, and alerts for the web when connected to supported data sources.

The option to send a test alert is not available from the user panel UI for users having the Viewer role. It is still possible for a user with the Viewer role to send a test alert using the API as the API does not check access to this function. This might enable malicious users to abuse the functionality by sending multiple alert messages to e-mail and Slack, spamming users, prepare Phishing attack or block SMTP server.

Affected Versions:
Grafana versions from 8.0.0 to 8.5.25
Grafana versions from 9.0.0 to 9.2.18
Grafana versions from 9.3.0 to 9.3.14
Grafana versions from 9.4.0 to 9.4.11
Grafana versions from 9.5.0 to 9.5.2

QID Detection Logic :
This QID sends an HTTP GET request and retrieves a vulnerable version of a Grafana running on the target application.
