An access control vulnerability was discovered in Grafana OSS where an Organization administrator could permanently delete the Server administrator account. This vulnerability exists in the DELETE /api/org/users/ endpoint.
The vulnerability can be exploited when:
1. An Organization administrator exists
2. The Server administrator is either:
- Not part of any organization, or
- Part of the same organization as the Organization administrator
Impact:
- Organization administrators can permanently delete Server administrator accounts
- If the only Server administrator is deleted, the Grafana instance becomes unmanageable
- No super-user permissions remain in the system
- Affects all users, organizations, and teams managed in the instance
The vulnerability is particularly serious as it can lead to a complete loss of administrative control over the Grafana instance.
