## Description

Grafana is an open-source platform for monitoring and observability. In
versions prior to 8.5.13, 9.0.9, and 9.1.6, Grafana is subject to Improper
Preservation of Permissions resulting in privilege escalation on some
folders where Admin is the only used permission. The vulnerability impacts
Grafana instances where RBAC was disabled and enabled afterwards, as the
migrations which are translating legacy folder permissions to RBAC
permissions do not account for the scenario where the only user permission
in the folder is Admin, as a result RBAC adds permissions for Editors and
Viewers which allow them to edit and view folders accordingly. This issue
has been patched in versions 8.5.13, 9.0.9, and 9.1.6. A workaround when
the impacted folder/dashboard is known is to remove the additional
permissions manually.
