Technical details

The Elasticsearch data source resource proxy in Grafana forwards request methods and paths directly to Elasticsearch without validating or restricting them to the operations needed by the plugin. An authenticated user with data source query permissions can send arbitrary requests using the data source's credentials, potentially modifying index mappings, accessing unauthorized indices, or performing other Elasticsearch cluster operations.
