Description
A flaw in Grafana's Auth Proxy IPv6 allow-list incorrectly defaults to a broad /32 subnet mask instead of a strict /128. This misconfiguration allows remote attackers to bypass access restrictions, potentially leading to unauthorized access and data manipulation.
Statement
A flaw in Grafana's Auth Proxy IPv6 allow-list defaults to an overly broad /32 mask, potentially allowing unauthorized access. This strictly affects Auth Proxy deployments using IPv6 allow-lists; other authentication methods are unaffected. This has been rated moderate since auth proxy authentication is not enabled by default on grafana shipped on RHEL.
Mitigation
To mitigate this issue, explicitly specify the intended IPv6 address mask—typically /128 for a single host—within the Grafana Auth Proxy allow-list configuration. This overrides the incorrect default /32 mask, ensuring that network access restrictions are applied strictly as intended.
For RHEL: Update the whitelist directive under the [auth.proxy] section in /etc/grafana/grafana.ini. For example, if ::1 is the desired address, configure it explicitly as ::1/128. A restart of the Grafana service (systemctl restart grafana-server) is required for the changes to take effect.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authorities (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications ).

My product is listed as "Under investigation" or "Affected", when will Red Hat release a fix for this vulnerability?
- "Under investigation" doesn't necessarily mean that the product is affected by this vulnerability. It only means that our Analysis Team is still working on determining whether the product is affected and how it is affected.
- "Affected" means that our Analysis Team has determined that this product is affected by this vulnerability and might release a fix to address this in the near future.
What can I do if my product is listed as "Will not fix"?
Available options depend mostly on the Impact of the vulnerability and the current Life Cycle phase of your product. Overall, you have the following options:
- Upgrade to a supported product version that includes a fix for this vulnerability (recommended).
- Apply a mitigation (if one exists).
- Open a This content is not included.support case to request a prioritization of releasing a fix for this vulnerability.
What can I do if my product is listed as "Fix deferred"?
Available options depend mostly on the Impact of the vulnerability and the current Life Cycle phase of your product. Overall, you have the following options:
- Apply a mitigation (if one exists).
- Open a This content is not included.support case to request a prioritization of releasing a fix for this vulnerability.
- Red Hat Engineering focuses on addressing high-priority issues based on their complexity or limited lifecycle support. Therefore, lower-priority issues will not receive immediate fixes.
What is a mitigation?
I have a Red Hat product but it is not in the above list, is it affected?
Why is my security scanner reporting my product as vulnerable to this vulnerability even though my product version is fixed or not affected?
My product is listed as "Out of Support Scope". What does this mean?
