## What is CVE-2025-3580?

CVE-2025-3580 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Grafana, published on 23 May 2025. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

An access control vulnerability was discovered in Grafana OSS where an Organization administrator could permanently delete the Server administrator account. This vulnerability exists in the DELETE /api/org/users/ endpoint.

The vulnerability can be exploited when:

1. An Organization administrator exists

2. The Server administrator is either:

   - Not part of any organization, or
   - Part of the same organization as the Organization administrator
Impact:

- Organization administrators can permanently delete Server administrator accounts

- If the only Server administrator is deleted, the Grafana instance becomes unmanageable

- No super-user permissions remain in the system

- Affects all users, organizations, and teams managed in the instance

The vulnerability is particularly serious as it can lead to a complete loss of administrative control over the Grafana instance.

Weakness: CWE-284 (Improper Access Control)

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.
