Stack traces in Grafana's Explore Traces view can be rendered as raw HTML, and thus inject malicious JavaScript in the browser. This would require malicious JavaScript to be entered into the stack trace field. Only datasources with the Jaeger HTTP API appear to be affected; Jaeger gRPC and Tempo do not appear affected whatsoever.

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 6cc28c49-58fe-11f1-b525-3c7c3fba4204 advisory.

    https://grafana.com/security/security-advisories/cve-2025-41117 reports:
    Stack traces in Grafana's Explore Traces view can be rendered as               raw HTML, and thus inject malicious JavaScript in the browser.  This               would require malicious JavaScript to be entered into the stack               trace field.

              Only datasources with the Jaeger HTTP API appear to be affected;
              Jaeger gRPC and Tempo do not appear affected whatsoever.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to its self-reported version, the Grafana install hosted on the remote host is prior to 12.2.4, or 12.3.x prior to 12.3.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

- Public dashboards with annotations enabled did not limit their annotation timerange to the locked timerange of the public dashboard. This means one could read the entire history of annotations visible on the specific dashboard, even those outside the locked timerange.

- Stack traces in Grafana's Explore Traces view can be rendered as raw HTML, and thus inject malicious JavaScript in the browser. This would require malicious JavaScript to be entered into the stack trace field.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Stack traces in Grafana's Explore Traces view can be rendered as raw HTML, and thus inject malicious     JavaScript in the browser. This would require malicious JavaScript to be entered into the stack trace     field. Only datasources with the Jaeger HTTP API appear to be affected; Jaeger gRPC and Tempo do not     appear affected whatsoever. (CVE-2025-41117)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
