## Overview

An information-disclosure flaw was found in Grafana. The database directory `/var/lib/grafana` and database file `/var/lib/grafana/grafana.db` are world readable. This can result in exposure of sensitive information (e.g., cleartext or encrypted datasource passwords).

## Affected packages

- `github.com/grafana/grafana < 7.2.1`

## Remediation

Upgrade to a patched release:

- `github.com/grafana/grafana 7.2.1`
