CVE-2022-21673: Build software better, together

Package

Forward OAuth Identity / OAuth Passthrough (Grafana)

Affected versions

> 7.2.0

When a data source has the Forward OAuth Identity feature enabled, sending a query to that datasource with an API token (and no other user credentials) will forward the OAuth Identity of the most recently logged-in user.

This can allow API token holders to retrieve data for which they may not have intended access.

Impact

All of the following must be true:

• The Grafana instance has data sources that support the Forward OAuth Identity feature. Graphite users, for example.
  • Some data sources are not susceptible, like Prometheus, as they do not have support for this feature.
  • The option being available is not sufficient enough to determine if the data source is susceptible.
• The Grafana instance has a data source with the Forward OAuth Identity feature toggled on.
• The Grafana instance has OAuth enabled.
• The Grafana instance has usable API keys.

Patches

The following Grafana versions have been patched:

• v8.3.4
• v7.5.13

Workarounds

Administrators of Grafana instances can limit the availability of API tokens.
