## What is CVE-2023-5122?

CVE-2023-5122 is a medium-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in Grafana Grafana, published on 14 Feb 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Grafana is an open-source platform for monitoring and observability. The CSV datasource plugin is a Grafana Labs maintained plugin for Grafana that allows for retrieving and processing CSV data from a remote endpoint configured by an administrator. If this plugin was configured to send requests to a bare host with no path (e.g.  https://www.example.com/ https://www.example.com/` ), requests to an endpoint other than the one configured by the administrator could be triggered by a specially crafted request from any user, resulting in an SSRF vector.

Check this codebase for CVE-2023-5122 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2023-5122 is a medium-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in Grafana Grafana, published on 14 Feb 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-5122 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected packages and fixed versions:
- grafana (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 0.6.13

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
