SCA: security update for github.com/grafana/grafana (GHSA-hjv9-hm2f-rpcj)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 415818

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Grafana is an open-source platform for monitoring and observability. Starting with the 8.1 branch, Grafana
 had a stored XSS vulnerability affecting the core plugin GeoMap. The stored XSS vulnerability was possible
 due to map attributions weren't properly sanitized and allowed arbitrary JavaScript to be executed in the
 context of the currently authorized user of the Grafana instance. An attacker needs to have the Editor
 role in order to change a panel to include a map attribution containing JavaScript. This means that
 vertical privilege escalation is possible, where a user with Editor role can change to a known password
 for a user having Admin role if the user with Admin role executes malicious JavaScript viewing a
 dashboard. Users may upgrade to version 8.5.21, 9.2.13 and 9.3.8 to receive a fix. (CVE-2023-0507)
