Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-22462 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/grafana/grafana (Go): affected from 9.2.0; fixed in 9.2.10\n- github.com/grafana/grafana (Go): affected from 9.2.0; fixed in 9.2.10\n- github.com/grafana/grafana (Go): affected from 9.3.0; fixed in 9.3.4\n- github.com/grafana/grafana (Go): affected from 9.3.0; fixed in 9.3.4\n- grafana (Bitnami): affected from 9.2.0; fixed in 9.2.10, 9.3.4\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-22462/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-22462/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-22462","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-22462/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-22462","record":{"aliases":["BIT-grafana-2023-22462","GHSA-7rqg-hjwc-6mjf","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-22462"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Grafana monitoring platform","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker with Editor role can inject malicious scripts into Text panels, potentially escalating privileges to Admin if an Admin views the dashboard.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"grafana","vendor":"grafana"}],"cvss":{"score":6.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Grafana is an open-source platform for monitoring and observability. On 2023-01-01 during an internal audit of Grafana, a member of the security team found a stored XSS vulnerability affecting the core plugin \"Text\". The stored XSS vulnerability requires several user interactions in order to be fully exploited. The vulnerability was possible due to React's render cycle that will pass though the unsanitized HTML code, but in the next cycle the HTML is cleaned up and saved in Grafana's database. An attacker needs to have the Editor role in order to change a Text panel to include JavaScript. Another user needs to edit the same Text panel, and click on \"Markdown\" or \"HTML\" for the code to be executed. 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. This issue has been patched in versions 9.2.10 and 9.3.4.","ecosystems":["Bitnami","Go"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Stored XSS in Grafana Text plugin","id":"CVE-2023-22462","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"grafana:grafana","products":["grafana:grafana"],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":5,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"KubePi's Hardcoded Jwtsigkeys allows malicious actor to login with a forged JWT token","id":"CVE-2023-22463"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["9.2.10","9.3.4"],"introduced":["9.2.0","9.3.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"grafana","purl":"pkg:bitnami/grafana","source":"BIT-grafana-2023-22462"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["9.2.10"],"introduced":["9.2.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/grafana/grafana","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-7rqg-hjwc-6mjf"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["9.2.10"],"introduced":["9.2.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/grafana/grafana","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/grafana/grafana","source":"GHSA-7rqg-hjwc-6mjf"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["9.3.4"],"introduced":["9.3.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/grafana/grafana","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-7rqg-hjwc-6mjf"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["9.3.4"],"introduced":["9.3.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/grafana/grafana","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/grafana/grafana","source":"GHSA-7rqg-hjwc-6mjf"}],"prev":{"headline":"sanitize-svg Filter Bypass Allows Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-22461"},"products":["grafana"],"published":"2023-03-02","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Grafana Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2021-43798","kev_date_added":"2025-10-09","published":"2021-12-07"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Incorrect privilege assignment","id":"CVE-2025-41115","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Grafana vulnerable to race condition allowing privilege escalation","id":"CVE-2022-39328","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-28660","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-20"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-26148","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Grafana Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2018-15727","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-08-29"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Grafana SQL Expressions allow for remote code execution","id":"CVE-2024-9264","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-18"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"Bitnami","prefix":"BIT"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-01-28","vendors":["grafana"]},"summary":"An attacker with Editor role can inject malicious scripts into Text panels, potentially escalating privileges to Admin if an Admin views the dashboard.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-22462/"}
