Technical details
This is an improper authorization vulnerability in Grafana's library panel move functionality. An authenticated user can call the library elements API or App Platform resource to move library panels from a folder where they have edit permission to a destination folder where they lack create permission. The vulnerability exists because the update path fails to validate create permission on the destination folder. An attacker must be authenticated and already have edit rights on the source folder to exploit this.
