CVE-2025-41115
CWE-266Published: November 21, 2025· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
SCIM provisioning was introduced in Grafana Enterprise and Grafana Cloud in April to improve how organizations manage users and teams in Grafana by introducing automated user lifecycle management.
In Grafana versions 12.x where SCIM provisioning is enabled and configured, a vulnerability in user identity handling allows a malicious or compromised SCIM client to provision a user with a numeric externalId, which in turn could allow to override internal user IDs and lead to impersonation or privilege escalation.
This vulnerability applies only if all of the following conditions are met:
- `enableSCIM` feature flag set to true
- `user_sync_enabled` config option in the `[auth.scim]` block set to true
Risk Analysis
This critical vulnerability in Grafana versions 12.x, when SCIM provisioning is enabled, allows a malicious SCIM client to provision a user with a numeric externalId. This can lead to user impersonation or privilege escalation by overriding internal user IDs. The CVSS score of 9.8 indicates extreme urgency, though no EPSS score is available to gauge exploitation likelihood.
No public exploit is known for this vulnerability, and it is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog. The flaw is remotely exploitable over the network with low attack complexity, making it a significant concern.
Upgrade Grafana to a patched version. If SCIM provisioning is not required, ensure the 'enableSCIM' feature flag is set to false and 'user_sync_enabled' is set to false in the '[auth.scim]' block.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2025-41115 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
