Summary
An authentication bypass vulnerability was found in the verify_email_enabled feature of Grafana. Even when enabled, this configuration option does not fully enforce email verification. This issue could allow a remote attacker that has authenticated with basic credentials to change the email address to use an unverified address. Successful exploitation could allow evasion of an organization's email domain filtering rules. An example of this is permitting a user in blocklisted countries or service providers to utilize a service.
Remediation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.

01

What, why and how

A user changing their email after signing up and verifying it can change it without verification in profile settings. The configuration option "verify_email_enabled" will only validate email only on sign up.

What

A user changing their email after signing up and verifying it can change it without verification in profile settings. The configuration option "verify_email_enabled" will only validate email only on sign up.

Why

The application performs an authorisation check, but it does not correctly enforce the required permission boundary.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
Reference recorded

A structured CVE source labels at least one public reference as exploit material. BlackTree has not independently validated that it is safe, reliable or weaponised.

CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization. The product performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action, but it does not correctly perform the check.
