SCA: security update for github.com/grafana/grafana (GHSA-gj7m-853r-289r)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 434436

Description

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

 - Grafana is an open source data visualization platform for metrics, logs, and traces. Versions prior to
 9.1.8 and 8.5.14 allow one user to block another user's login attempt by registering someone else'e email
 address as a username. A Grafana user’s username and email address are unique fields, that means no other
 user can have the same username or email address as another user. A user can have an email address as a
 username. However, the login system allows users to log in with either username or email address. Since
 Grafana allows a user to log in with either their username or email address, this creates an usual
 behavior where `user_1` can register with one email address and `user_2` can register their username as
 `user_1`’s email address. This prevents `user_1` logging into the application since `user_1`'s password
 won’t match with `user_2`'s email address. Versions 9.1.8 and 8.5.14 contain a patch. There are no
 workarounds for this issue. (CVE-2022-39229)
