Summary

Grafana, a prominent open-source platform for monitoring and observability, suffers from an improper access control vulnerability. Users with the Viewer role can exploit the API to send test alerts, despite the UI restricting this action. This oversight could allow malicious actors to inundate users with spam alerts via email and Slack, potentially facilitating phishing attacks or causing disruption to SMTP servers. To mitigate this risk, users are advised to upgrade to versions 9.5.3, 9.4.12, 9.3.15, 9.2.19, or 8.5.26.

Affected Version(s)

Grafana 8.0.0 < 8.5.26
