Upgrade github.com/grafana/grafana to 9.1.8
github.com/grafana/grafana fixed: 8.5.14
Upgrade github.com/grafana/grafana to 8.5.14
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

inspect dependencies for github.com/grafana/grafana

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2022-31130, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/grafana/grafana:

inspect dependencies for github.com/grafana/grafana

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/grafana/grafana in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 9.1.8), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.
