Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes, in typical deployments it is remotely exploitable against users who can access the affected Grafana dashboard. An attacker with Editor access can craft a malicious zoom link; any remote Viewer who opens the dashboard and performs a drag-zoom action can have arbitrary script executed in their browser.

What level of access does an attacker need to exploit this?

The attacker must have at least Editor-level privileges (or an equivalent role that can modify panel configuration) in the relevant Grafana dashboard. Viewers are the victims, not the direct attackers; they only need permission to view and interact with the dashboard.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The safest pattern is to centralize link handling and enforce strict URL validation before navigation. This includes whitelisting allowed schemes (e.g., `https:`, `http:`), rejecting or ignoring unsafe schemes like `javascript:`, and ideally constraining navigation targets to known-safe origins or relative paths generated by the application.
