Medium 5.3
In plain English
A medium-severity missing authorization in Grafana Enterprise from Grafana. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far.

Official description
Pausing a shared (public) dashboard did not revoke its access token for the endpoints that serve frontend bootstrap data. Anyone holding the link to a paused shared dashboard could still retrieve, without authenticating, the configuration of the dashboard's data sources, including stored credentials for data sources using browser access (missing authorization). Deleting the shared dashboard does revoke the token.
