FreeBSD : Grafana -- Privilege escalation (95e6e6ca-3986-11ed-8e0c-6c3be5272acd)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 165288

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

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 95e6e6ca-3986-11ed-8e0c-6c3be5272acd advisory.

- Grafana is an open-source platform for monitoring and observability. Versions prior to 9.1.6 and 8.5.13 are vulnerable to an escalation from admin to server admin when auth proxy is used, allowing an admin to take over the server admin account and gain full control of the grafana instance. All installations should be upgraded as soon as possible. As a workaround deactivate auth proxy following the instructions at:
https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/setup-grafana/configure-security/configure-authentication/auth- proxy/ (CVE-2022-35957)

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
