Description

The version of Grafana Labs installed on the remote host is prior to 10.3.10, 10.4.9, 11.0.5, 11.1.6, or 11.2.1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the cve-2024-8118 advisory.

- In Grafana, the wrong permission is applied to the alert rule write API endpoint, allowing users with permission to write external alert instances to also write alert rules. (CVE-2024-8118)
