Description
In Grafana's alerting system, users with edit permissions for a contact point, specifically the permissions “alert.notifications:write” or “alert.notifications.receivers:test” that are granted as part of the fixed role "Contact Point Writer", which is part of the basic role Editor - can edit contact points created by other users, modify the endpoint URL to a controlled server. By invoking the test functionality, attackers can capture and extract redacted secure settings, such as authentication credentials for third-party services (e.g., Slack tokens). This leads to unauthorized access and potential compromise of external integrations.

AI Analysis

Impact

Users granted edit rights to a Grafana contact point can change the destination of that alerting webhook, even if they did not create it. By using the test functionality, an attacker can trigger the webhook and capture redacted secure settings, such as third‑party service tokens. The result is that compromised or new credentials are exposed, allowing the attacker to access and potentially control external services like Slack or other integrations.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Grafana’s Alerting component. Any instance where the Contact Point Writer role – part of the basic Editor role – is assigned to a user can be exploited. Because the issue is tied to permissions rather than a specific version, all Grafana installations using the default roles are potentially impacted until the patch is applied.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 1.3 categorizes the flaw as low severity. No EPSS score is reported and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, implying a low likelihood of widespread exploitation at present. However, the attack vector is likely internal and requires legitimate edit permissions. Once an attacker gains the ability to alter contact points and trigger tests, they can exfiltrate confidential tokens, leading to unauthorized access to third‑party services.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Grafana to a version that includes the alerting fix, following the vendor’s advisory.
  • Re‑evaluate the assignment of the Contact Point Writer role and remove ‘alert.notifications:write’ and ‘alert.notifications.receivers:test’ permissions from users who do not need them, applying a least‑privilege model.
  • Monitor audit logs for changes to webhook destinations and payloads, and consider disabling the test functionality or restricting its use until the vulnerability is mitigated.
