Impact: Unauthorized Administrator Access

AI Analysis

Impact

The Grafana Global Hub contains hardcoded administrator credentials (admin / admin) within its pkg/specsyncer component. These constant defaults can be leveraged by an attacker to authenticate as a Grafana administrator, granting full control over dashboards, data sources, and configuration. Unauthorized use of these credentials could compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Grafana and any managed data within the system. The hardcoded credentials are inferred from the CVE title; the official description does not detail this explicitly.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Grafana Global Hub product. No specific vendor product versions are listed, so all deployments containing the pkg/specsyncer module with the hardcoded credentials are potentially impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.8 places this exploit in the Critical severity range. The EPSS score is not available, but the lack of a KEV listing does not diminish the risk; hardcoded default credentials are a classic, low‑effort attack vector. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely through any exposed Grafana endpoint that allows username/password authentication, provided the attacker knows the default credentials.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to a version of Grafana Global Hub that removes or secures hardcoded administrator credentials.
  • If upgrading is not immediately possible, locate the pkg/specsyncer source, delete or neutralise the embedded admin/admin credentials, and rebuild the application.
  • Reset the Grafana administrator password to a strong, unique value and enforce a password change on first login.
  • Enable role‑based access control, audit logging, and restrict network exposure of the Grafana service to mitigate potential credential abuse.
