CVE-2023-0594Network attack vector

Administrator account takeover via unsanitized trace attributes

Published Mar 1, 2023 · Updated Jan 28, 2026

Stored XSS in affected Grafana and Grafana Enterprise releases allows remote authenticated users to run script in an administrator's browser. TraceView renders unsanitized span attribute and resource values when those fields are expanded, allowing an Editor to store script in a dashboard visualization. Exploitation requires Editor access and an administrator to view and expand the malicious trace data; affected branches are 7.0.0 through 8.5.20, 9.0.0 through 9.2.12, and 9.3.0 through 9.3.7, and script execution can change the administrator's password.
