Technical details

An origin validation error in the renderAuthJWT feature allows renderer tokens issued by one Grafana instance to be accepted by others when they share the same renderer_token configuration. An attacker with access to one instance can craft a JWT that authenticates as another user on a different instance. This affects Grafana 13.0.0 and later where renderAuthJWT is enabled by default.
