Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2022-39307

medium Nessus Plugin ID 224961

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

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

 - Grafana is an open-source platform for monitoring and observability. When using the forget password on the login page, a POST request is made to the `/api/user/password/sent-reset-email` URL. When the username or email does not exist, a JSON response contains a user not found message. This leaks information to unauthenticated users and introduces a security risk. This issue has been patched in 9.2.4 and backported to 8.5.15. There are no known workarounds. (CVE-2022-39307)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
