Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-8986)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to the Grafana plugin SDK bundles build metadata into the binaries it compiles. This metadata includes the repository URI for the plugin being built, as retrieved by running git remote get-url origin. If credentials are included in the repository URI (for instance, to allow for fetching of private dependencies), the final binary will contain the full URI, including said credentials.
Remediation
