Remediation
Red Hat statement
While OpenShift 3.11 grafana-container packages a vulnerable version of grafana, the dashboard is set to read-only meaning that the vulnerable component cannot be added or modified to contain the potential XSS. As the OpenShift version still packages vulnerable code, the impact is set Low.
