CVE-2019-15635

An issue was discovered in Grafana 5.4.0. Passwords for data sources used by Grafana (e.g., MySQL) are not encrypted. An admin user can reveal passwords for any data source by pressing the "Save and test" button within a data source's settings menu. When watching the transaction with Burp Proxy, the password for the data source is revealed and sent to the server. From a browser, a prompt to save the credentials is generated, and the password can be revealed by simply checking the "Show password" box.

Grafana instances packaged with OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) are read-only by default, see [1]. OCP is rated as low because when a user with the correct roles, [2], accesses the Grafana dashboard the data source settings menu is not available by default - preventing access to the plain-text credentials.
