Remediation
Red Hat statement
OpenShift Container Platform secures all usages of Grafana behind the oauth-proxy, preventing access to Grafana without authentication. Red Hat Product Security have rated this vulnerability as Low for OpenShift Container Platform. This issue affects the version of Grafana as shipped with Red Hat Gluster Storage 3 and Red Hat Ceph Storage 3, as it contains the vulnerable snapshot functionality.
Red Hat mitigation
Block access to the snapshot feature by blocking the /api/snapshots URL via a web application firewall, load balancer, reverse proxy etc. You can also set 'external_enabled' to false to disable external snapshot publish endpoint (default true). Note, it will completely disable this feature. # cat /etc/grafana/grafana.ini [...] [snapshots] # snapshot sharing options external_enabled = false external_snapshot_url = https://snapshots-origin.raintank.io external_snapshot_name = Publish to snapshot.raintank.io [...]
