    How to find potentially vulnerable systems with runZero #

    From the Software Inventory, use the following query to locate potentially impacted assets:

    vendor:"Grafana" AND product:="Grafana%Enterprise" AND (version:>0 AND version:>="12.0.0")

    Grafana vulnerability (CVE-2021-43798) #

    A zero-day vulnerability for Grafana, a popular analytics and visualization software, was leaked this week. This vulnerability provides attackers a path traversal attack vector that can result in data disclosure, resulting in access to files containing confidential information or credentials. Tracked as CVE-2021-43798 with a "high" CVSS score of 7.5, this path traversal vulnerability resides in the installed plugins path logic for a Grafana instance (e.g., <grafana_host_url>/public/plugins/<plugin-id>). Because Grafana installs with plugins by default, Grafana versions v8.0.0-beta1 through v8.3.0 are all vulnerable (Grafana Cloud is reportedly not vulnerable).

    This vulnerability was originally disclosed to Grafana on December 3rd (prior to its leak as an 0-day). Grafana made patched versions available the day of the leak and advised anyone running a vulnerable version to update to a patched version as soon as possible. If upgrading isn't an option, Grafana provides mitigation strategy as well.

    As a part of good cyber hygiene, you should shut down public access to Grafana servers (unless it is necessary).
