Grafana Labs, creator of Grafana, the multi-platform open source analytics and interactive visualization web application, today released Grafana 8.2.4.

The vulnerability only affects Grafana instances where fine-grained access control beta is enabled and there is more than one organization in the Grafana instance.

The release targets incorrect access control that allowed users who were not admins to have power over other organizations. All installations between v8.0 and v8.2.3 that have fine-grained access control beta enabled and more than one organization should be upgraded to this new release as soon as possible. If you are unable to update, turn off the fine-grained access control using a feature flag. Grafana Cloud instances have not been affected by the vulnerability.
