  - Grafana is an open-source platform for monitoring and observability. The vulnerability impacts Grafana
    instances with several organizations, and allows a user with Organization Admin permissions in one
    organization to change the permissions associated with Organization Viewer, Organization Editor and
    Organization Admin roles in all organizations. It also allows an Organization Admin to assign or revoke
    any permissions that they have to any user globally. This means that any Organization Admin can elevate
    their own permissions in any organization that they are already a member of, or elevate or restrict the
    permissions of any other user. The vulnerability does not allow a user to become a member of an
    organization that they are not already a member of, or to add any other users to an organization that the
    current user is not a member of. (CVE-2023-4822)
