CVE-2025-8341

5.0 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

The Grafana Infinity datasource plugin contains a URL restriction bypass vulnerability that allows attackers to access unauthorized endpoints. This affects Grafana instances using the Infinity plugin with URL filtering configured. Attackers could potentially access internal or external resources that should be blocked.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Grafana Infinity Datasource Plugin
Versions: All versions before 3.4.1
Operating Systems: All platforms running Grafana
Default Config Vulnerable: ✅ No
Notes: Only vulnerable when URL filtering is configured in the Infinity plugin settings. Default installations without URL restrictions are not affected.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Attacker accesses sensitive internal systems or data through bypassed URL restrictions, potentially leading to data exfiltration or further network compromise.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized access to internal APIs or services that should be restricted, potentially exposing sensitive information or enabling SSRF attacks.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact due to proper network segmentation and additional authentication layers, though URL filtering would be ineffective.

🌐 Internet-Facing: MEDIUM - Internet-facing Grafana instances with the Infinity plugin could allow attackers to bypass URL restrictions and probe internal networks.
🏢 Internal Only: LOW - Internal-only instances reduce attack surface, but could still allow lateral movement if compromised.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: MEDIUM

Requires authenticated access to Grafana and knowledge of URL filtering configuration. Exploitation involves crafting specific URL patterns to bypass restrictions.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: 3.4.1

Vendor Advisory: https://grafana.com/security/security-advisories/cve-2025-8341/

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Access Grafana admin interface. 2. Navigate to Plugins section. 3. Find Infinity datasource plugin. 4. Update to version 3.4.1. 5. Verify update completed successfully.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Disable URL Filtering

all

Remove URL restrictions from Infinity plugin configuration to eliminate bypass vulnerability

Edit Grafana datasource configuration to remove URL allow/deny lists for Infinity plugin

Network Segmentation

all

Implement network controls to restrict Grafana server outbound connections

Configure firewall rules to limit Grafana server egress to only required endpoints

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict network egress filtering for Grafana servers
  • Monitor Infinity plugin usage and alert on unusual URL access patterns

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check Infinity plugin version in Grafana admin interface. If version is below 3.4.1 and URL filtering is configured, the system is vulnerable.

Check Version:

Check via Grafana UI: Admin -> Plugins -> Infinity datasource, or via API: GET /api/plugins

Verify Fix Applied:

Confirm Infinity plugin version shows 3.4.1 or higher in Grafana plugins section.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual URL patterns in Infinity plugin requests
  • Access to URLs not in configured allow lists
  • Failed URL restriction attempts

Network Indicators:

  • Grafana server making unexpected outbound connections
  • Requests to internal IP ranges from Grafana

SIEM Query:

source="grafana" AND ("infinity" OR "datasource") AND (url_contains OR request_uri) NOT IN allowed_urls
