Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2025-41115 is a critical Grafana identity-handling flaw tied to SCIM provisioning. If SCIM user sync is enabled, a malicious or compromised SCIM client could create a user whose external ID collides with internal user IDs, potentially causing impersonation or privilege escalation.
Executive priority
Treat this as urgent for Grafana deployments using SCIM. The business risk is account impersonation and privilege escalation in monitoring and operational systems. Non-SCIM deployments appear outside the stated preconditions.
Technical view
In Grafana 12.x with SCIM enabled and configured, numeric SCIM externalId handling can override internal user IDs. The supplied affected entry names Grafana Enterprise 12.0.0. Required conditions are enableSCIM=true and [auth.scim] user_sync_enabled=true. CVSS 3.1 is 10.0 with network attack vector and high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure appears limited to Grafana environments using SCIM provisioning with both required settings enabled. The affected list names Grafana Enterprise 12.0.0; the description also discusses Grafana Cloud and 12.x, so confirm scope against Grafana’s advisory.
Exploitation context
The supplied sources do not show CISA KEV listing or confirmed active exploitation. Risk is still high because a malicious or compromised SCIM client could drive identity confusion without user interaction, leading to impersonation or privilege escalation.
Researcher notes
Key uncertainty is exact product scope beyond the affected entry, because the description mentions Grafana Cloud and 12.x while the affected list names Grafana Enterprise 12.0.0. Do not assume broader impact without vendor confirmation.
Mitigation direction
- Check Grafana’s advisory for official fixed versions and remediation guidance.
- Identify Grafana 12.x instances using SCIM provisioning and user sync.
- Disable SCIM user sync where it is not operationally required.
- Rotate and restrict SCIM client credentials if compromise is suspected.
- Prioritize remediation for internet-facing or privileged Grafana environments.
Validation and detection
- Verify Grafana version and edition across managed environments.
- Check whether enableSCIM is true in feature flags.
- Check whether [auth.scim] user_sync_enabled is true.
- Review SCIM provisioning logs for numeric externalId values.
- Review recent unexpected user, team, or role changes.

Incorrect Privilege Assignment
Incorrect Privilege Assignment represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
