Description
A flaw was found in Grafana. This vulnerability impacts folders/dashboards with Admin-only permissions and where role-based access control (RBAC) was ever enabled at least once. When RBAC is enabled, Grafana runs migrations that translate legacy access control permissions into RBAC permissions. The migrations contain a bug, which grants additional access to folders/dashboards that only had the Admin role grant, resulting in a privilege escalation where Editors can edit and Viewers can view the folder/dashboard to which they should not have access.
Statement
Grafana RBAC is available in Grafana Enterprise, which is not shipped in any of the Red Hat products.
