Attackers can manipulate the path traversal sequence in requests to <strong>redirect users into loading external JavaScript code<\/strong>.

That means making Grafana send requests on their behalf\u2014potentially exposing metadata endpoints, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purewl.com\/developer\/guides\/api\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">internal APIs<\/a>, and sensitive services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Proof-of-concept exploits were quickly discussed in security circles.
