We believe that this vulnerability is rated at CVSS 7.1 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L). ### Impact It is possible for a malicious user who has authorization to log into a Grafana instance via a configured OAuth IdP to take over an existing Grafana account under some conditions. ### Affected versions with HIGH severity All Grafana >=5.3 versions are affected by this vulnerability. ### Solutions and mitigations All installations after Grafana v5.3 should be upgraded as soon as possible. As a workaround it is possible to [disable any OAuth login](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/setup-grafana/configure-security/configure-authentication/generic-oauth/) or ensure that all users authorized to log in via OAuth have a corresponding user account in Grafana linked to their email address. Appropriate patches have been applied to [Grafana Cloud](https://grafana.com/cloud) and as always, we closely coordinated with all cloud providers licensed to offer Grafana Pro. They have received early notification under embargo and confirmed that their offerings are secure at the time of this announcement. This is applicable to Amazon Managed Grafana. ### Timeline Here is a detailed timeline starting from when we originally learned of the issue.
