2. Vulnerability Identification: The attacker probes the Grafana instance to identify exploitable vulnerabilities, such as path traversal, command injection, or authentication bypass.
3. Exploitation - Information Disclosure: The attacker leverages a path traversal vulnerability to access sensitive configuration files or internal data, such as database credentials or API keys.
4. Exploitation - Code Execution: The attacker exploits a command injection vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the Grafana server, potentially installing a web shell or reverse shell.
5. Privilege Escalation (if needed): If the attacker gains limited privileges through initial code execution, they attempt to escalate privileges to gain full control of the server.
6. Lateral Movement: The attacker uses compromised credentials or the established foothold to move laterally within the network, targeting other systems or sensitive data stores.
7. Denial of Service: The attacker exploits a resource exhaustion vulnerability to trigger a denial-of-service condition, making the Grafana instance unavailable to legitimate users.
8. Data Exfiltration/Persistence: The attacker exfiltrates sensitive data or establishes persistent access to the compromised system for future malicious activity.

Impact

Successful exploitation of these Grafana vulnerabilities can have severe consequences. A denial-of-service attack can disrupt monitoring capabilities, hindering incident response and potentially leading to cascading failures. Unauthorized code execution allows attackers to gain complete control of the Grafana server, enabling data theft, system compromise, and further propagation within the network. Information disclosure can expose sensitive credentials and internal data, facilitating further attacks. Organizations across all sectors that rely on Grafana for monitoring and visualization are potentially at risk.

Recommendation

• Monitor Grafana web server logs for suspicious HTTP requests indicative of path traversal attempts (cs-uri-query) using the provided Sigma rule.
• Implement rate limiting on the Grafana web interface to mitigate potential denial-of-service attacks (network_connection logs).
• Audit Grafana configurations for insecure settings, such as weak credentials or exposed API endpoints.

Attack Chain

1. Initial Access (TP-Link & HikVision): An attacker gains network access to a vulnerable TP-Link Archer AX53 router or HikVision Ultra Face Recognition Terminal.
2. Network Packet Crafting (TP-Link & HikVision): The attacker crafts a malicious network packet specifically designed to exploit a buffer overflow or other vulnerability in the target device’s firmware.
3. Packet Transmission (TP-Link & HikVision): The crafted network packet is sent to the vulnerable device, targeting a specific service or functionality (e.g., the tdpServer SSH port update functionality in TP-Link or SADP XML parsing in HikVision).
4. Vulnerability Trigger (TP-Link & HikVision): Upon receiving the malicious packet, the targeted service attempts to process it, triggering the vulnerability (e.g., a stack-based buffer overflow).
5. Code Execution or Memory Corruption (TP-Link & HikVision): The buffer overflow or other vulnerability allows the attacker to overwrite memory, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or corruption of critical system data.
6. Initial Access (Canva): An attacker entices a user to open a malicious EMF file using Canva Affinity.
7. File Parsing (Canva): Canva Affinity attempts to parse the EMF file.
8. Exploitation (Canva): The malformed EMF triggers an out-of-bounds read or type confusion vulnerability, allowing the attacker to read sensitive data or execute code.

Impact

Successful exploitation of the reported vulnerabilities could have significant consequences. In the case of Canva Affinity, attackers could potentially disclose sensitive information. For TP-Link devices, attackers could gain control of the router, potentially compromising network security and allowing for man-in-the-middle attacks or other malicious activities. In HikVision devices, successful exploitation leads to remote code execution. Given the widespread use of these devices, a successful widespread attack could impact a large number of users and organizations.
