Starting with the 7.0 branch, Grafana had a stored XSS vulnerability in the trace view visualization. The stored XSS vulnerability was possible due the value of a span's attributes/resources were not properly sanitized and this will be rendered when the span's attributes/resources are expanded. An attacker needs to have the Editor role in order to change the value of a trace view visualization to contain JavaScript. This means that vertical privilege escalation is possible, where a user with Editor role can change to a known password for a user having Admin role if the user with Admin role executes malicious JavaScript viewing a dashboard. Users may upgrade to version 8.5.21, 9.2.13 and 9.3.8 to receive a fix.","affected":[{"package":{"name":"github.com/grafana/grafana","ecosystem":"Go","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/grafana/grafana"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"7.0.0"},{"fixed":"8.5.21"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2023/03/GHSA-xw5p-hw8j-xg4q/GHSA-xw5p-hw8j-xg4q.json"}},{"package":{"name":"github.com/grafana/grafana","ecosystem":"Go","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/grafana/grafana"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"9.0.0"},{"fixed":"9.2.13"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2023/03/GHSA-xw5p-hw8j-xg4q/GHSA-xw5p-hw8j-xg4q.json"}},{"package":{"name":"github.com/grafana/grafana","ecosystem":"Go","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/grafana/grafana"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"9.3.0"},{"fixed":"9.3.8"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2023/03/GHSA-xw5p-hw8j-xg4q/GHSA-xw5p-hw8j-xg4q.json"}}],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-0594"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/grafana/grafana"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://grafana.com/security/security-advisories/cve-2023-0594"}],"database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-79"],"github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2023-03-02T23:05:30Z","nvd_published_at":"2023-03-01T16:15:00Z","severity":"MODERATE"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N"}]}
