Grafana Labs SQL expressions allowing for RCE (CVE-2024-9264)

high Nessus Plugin ID 211576

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of Grafana Labs installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-9264 advisory.

 - The SQL Expressions experimental feature of Grafana allows for the evaluation of 'duckdb' queries containing user input. These queries are insufficiently sanitized before being passed to 'duckdb', leading to a command injection and local file inclusion vulnerability. Any user with the VIEWER or higher permission is capable of executing this attack. The 'duckdb' binary must be present in Grafana's $PATH for this attack to function; by default, this binary is not installed in Grafana distributions.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
