A remote attacker can send a sequence of compressed HEADERS frames followed by RST_STREAM frames and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack, a.k.a. "Rapid Reset".

Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.


2) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-1442)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions. A remote user can use Grafana API to create a data source with UID set to *, and gain access to read, query, edit and delete all data sources within the organization.


3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-52425)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when parsing large tokens. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-28757)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input when using external parsers via XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML code to the affected application and view contents of arbitrary files on the system or initiate requests to external systems.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to view contents of arbitrary file on the server or perform network scanning of internal and external infrastructure.
