Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Grafana (github.com/grafana/grafana) versions 8.5.0 before 8.5.13, 9.0.0 before 9.0.9, and 9.1.0 before 9.1.6 are affected. An attacker who has an Editor or Viewer account can gain access to folders or dashboards that had only Admin permissions, because a bug in RBAC migrations granted extra access, if RBAC was ever enabled. Upgrade to 8.5.13, 9.0.9, or 9.1.6; if upgrading is not possible, remove the extra permissions manually on affected folders and dashboards.
