Description
An authentication bypass vulnerability was found in the verify_email_enabled feature of Grafana. Even when enabled, this configuration option does not fully enforce email verification. This issue could allow a remote attacker that has authenticated with basic credentials to change the email address to use an unverified address. Successful exploitation could allow evasion of an organization's email domain filtering rules. An example of this is permitting a user in blocklisted countries or service providers to utilize a service.
Statement
Use of Grafana basic authentication and the verify_email_enabled feature are preconditions for this vulnerability to affect your system.
