Grafana account takeover via OAuth vulnerability (CVE-2022-31107)
Summary
On June 27 the HTTPVoid team contacted Grafana Labs to disclose a Grafana account takeover via an OAuth vulnerability.
We believe that this vulnerability is rated at CVSS 7.1 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L).
Impact
It is possible for a malicious user who has authorization to log into a Grafana instance via a configured OAuth IdP to take over an existing Grafana account under some conditions.
Affected versions with HIGH severity
All Grafana >=5.3 versions are affected by this vulnerability.
Solutions and mitigations
All installations after Grafana v5.3 should be upgraded as soon as possible.
As a workaround it is possible to disable any OAuth login or ensure that all users authorized to log in via OAuth have a corresponding user account in Grafana linked to their email address.
Appropriate patches have been applied to Grafana Cloud and as always, we closely coordinated with all cloud providers licensed to offer Grafana Pro. They have received early notification under embargo and confirmed that their offerings are secure at the time of this announcement. This is applicable to Amazon Managed Grafana.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/grafana/grafana, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update github.com/grafana/grafana to 8.3.10 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-mx47-6497-3fv2 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.
Fixing This On Your OS
If you run this on a Linux distribution, patch through your package manager against the distro's own security advisory below — it tracks the exact backported fix for your release, which can ship on a different timeline (and sometimes a different severity) than the upstream project.
As a workaround, it is possible to disable any OAuth login or ensure that all users authorized to log in via OAuth have a corresponding user account in Grafana linked to their email address.Source: Red Hat security advisory for GHSA-mx47-6497-3fv2 (CC BY 4.0)
