PROFILE

Patrick Zhong

Worked on enhancing security in the grafana/grafana-infinity-datasource repository by implementing selective cookie forwarding for data source configurations. Developed a keepCookies option that allows operators to specify which cookies should be forwarded from the browser to the backend, reducing unnecessary cookie exposure and improving privacy controls. The solution was engineered using Go and TypeScript, integrating backend development with frontend configuration management. This approach addressed cross-origin security concerns by ensuring cookies are only sent when explicitly configured, and included updates to documentation and onboarding materials to support adoption. The work focused on robust, security-conscious data source integration within Grafana environments.

June 2025: Focused on security-conscious cookie handling in grafana/grafana-infinity-datasource. Implemented selective cookie forwarding by adding a keepCookies option to the datasource config, allowing cookies to be forwarded to the backend only when explicitly specified. This reduces cookie exposure and provides operators with finer control over user session data. Commit 2981e6684b04b6a90487592078b0453925c76368 implements the forwarding behavior when jsonData.keepCookies is set (issue #1258).
