QID 150740: Grafana Improper Privilege Management Vulnerability (CVE-2023-4822)

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 vulnerability impacts Grafana instances with several organizations, and allows a user with Organization Admin permissions in one organization to change the permissions associated with Organization Viewer, Organization Editor and Organization Admin roles in all organizations. It also allows an Organization Admin to assign or revoke any permissions that they have to any user globally. This means that any Organization Admin can elevate their own permissions in any organization that they are already a member of, or elevate or restrict the permissions of any other user. The vulnerability does not allow a user to become a member of an organization that they are not already a member of, or to add any other users to an organization that the current user is not a member of.

Affected Versions:
Grafana versions from 8.0.0 to 9.4.16
Grafana versions from 9.5.0 to 9.5.11
Grafana versions from 10.0.0 to 10.0.7
Grafana versions from 10.1.0 to 10.1.3

QID Detection Logic :
This QID sends a HTTP GET request to '/login' or '/api/health' endpoint to retrieve vulnerable version of Grafana running on the target application.

Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to change or revoke permissions associated with Organization Viewer, Organization Editor, and Organization Admin roles in all organizations.
