A chained attack via SQL Expressions and a Grafana Enterprise plugin can lead to a remote arbitrary code execution impact (RCE). This is enabled by a feature in Grafana (OSS), so all users are always recommended to update to avoid future attack vectors going this path.
Only instances with the sqlExpressions feature toggle enabled are vulnerable.
Only instances in the following version ranges are affected:
- 11.6.0 (inclusive) to 11.6.14 (exclusive): 11.6.14 has the fix. 11.5 and below are not affected.
- 12.0.0 (inclusive) to 12.1.10 (exclusive): 12.1.10 has the fix. 12.0 did not receive an update, as it is end-of-life.
- 12.2.0 (inclusive
Public dashboards discloses all direct mode datasources
When using public dashboards and direct data-sources, all direct data-sources' passwords are exposed despite not being used in dashboards.
No passwords of proxied data-sources are exposed. We encourage all direct data-sources to be converted to proxied data-sources as far as possible to improve your deployments' security.
Missing Protected-field Authorization in Provisioning Contact Points API
A vulnerability has been discovered in Grafana OSS where an authorization bypass in the provisioning contact points API allows users with Editor role to modify protected webhook URLs without the required alert.notifications.receivers.protected:write permission.
Grafana MSSQL Data Source Plugin: Restriction Bypass Leading to OOM DoS
The Grafana MSSQL data source plugin contains a logic flaw that allows a low-privileged user (Viewer) to bypass API restrictions and trigger a catastrophic Out-Of-Memory (OOM) memory exhaustion, crashing the host container.
Authorization Bypass via TOCTOU in Grafana Datasource Deletion by Name
A time-of-create-to-time-of-use (TOCTOU) vulnerability lets recently deleted-then-recreated data sources be re-deleted without permission to do so.
This requires several very stringent conditions to be met:
- The attacker must have admin access to the specific datasource prior to its first deletion.
- Upon deletion, all steps within the attack must happen within the next 30 seconds and on the same pod of Grafana.
- The attacker must delete the datasource, then someone must recreate it.
- The new datasource must not have the attacker as an admin.
- The new datasource must have the same UID as the prior datasource. These are randomised by def
SCIM provisioning was introduced in Grafana Enterprise and Grafana Cloud in April to improve how organizations manage users and teams in Grafana by introducing automated user lifecycle management.
In Grafana versions 12.x where SCIM provisioning is enabled and configured, a vulnerability in user identity handling allows a malicious or compromised SCIM client to provision a user with a numeric externalId, which in turn could allow to override internal user IDs and lead to impersonation or privilege escalation.
This vulnerability applies only if all of the following conditions are met:
- `enableSCIM` feature flag set to true
- `user_sync_enab

CVE-2025-6197
An open redirect vulnerability has been identified in Grafana OSS organization switching functionality.
Prerequisites for exploitation:
- Multiple organizations must exist in the Grafana instance
- Victim must be on a different organization than the one specified in the URL
An open redirect vulnerability has been identified in Grafana OSS that can be exploited to achieve XSS attacks. The vulnerability was introduced in Grafana v11.5.0.
The open redirect can be chained with path traversal vulnerabilities to achieve XSS.
Fixed in versions 12.0.2+security-01, 11.6.3+security-01, 11.5.6+security-01, 11.4.6+security-01 and 11.3.8+security-01

CVE-2025-3415
Grafana is an open-source platform for monitoring and observability. The Grafana Alerting DingDing integration was not properly protected and could be exposed to users with Viewer permission.
Fixed in versions 10.4.19+security-01, 11.2.10+security-01, 11.3.7+security-01, 11.4.5+security-01, 11.5.5+security-01, 11.6.2+security-01 and 12.0.1+security-01
Very long unicode dashboard title or panel name can hang the frontend
In Grafana, an excessively long dashboard title or panel name will cause Chromium browsers to become unresponsive due to Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Grafana.
This issue affects Grafana: before 11.6.2 and is fixed in 11.6.2 and higher.
This vulnerability in Grafana's datasource proxy API allows authorization checks to be bypassed by adding an extra slash character in the URL path.
Users with minimal permissions could gain unauthorized read access to GET endpoints in Alertmanager and Prometheus datasources.
The issue primarily affects datasources that implement route-specific permissions, including Alertmanager and certain Prometheus-based datasources.
A security vulnerability in the /apis/dashboard.grafana.app/* endpoints allows authenticated users to bypass dashboard and folder permissions. The vulnerability affects all API versions (v0alpha1, v1alpha1, v2alpha1).
Impact:
- Viewers can view all dashboards/folders regardless of permissions
- Editors can view/edit/delete all dashboards/folders regardless of permissions
- Editors can create dashboards in any folder regardless of permissions
- Anonymous users with viewer/editor roles are similarly affected
Organization isolation boundaries remain intact. The vulnerability only affects dashboard access and does not grant access to dataso
An access control vulnerability was discovered in Grafana OSS where an Organization administrator could permanently delete the Server administrator account. This vulnerability exists in the DELETE /api/org/users/ endpoint.
The vulnerability can be exploited when:
1. An Organization administrator exists
2. The Server administrator is either:
- Not part of any organization, or
- Part of the same organization as the Organization administrator
Impact:
- Organization administrators can permanently delete Server administrator accounts
- If the only Server administrator is deleted, the Grafana instance becomes unmanageable
- No super-us

CVE-2025-4123
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Grafana caused by combining a client path traversal and open redirect. This allows attackers to redirect users to a website that hosts a frontend plugin that will execute arbitrary JavaScript. This vulnerability does not require editor permissions and if anonymous access is enabled, the XSS will work. If the Grafana Image Renderer plugin is installed, it is possible to exploit the open redirect to achieve a full read SSRF.
The default Content-Security-Policy (CSP) in Grafana will block the XSS though the `connect-src` directive.
The built-in XY Chart plugin is vulnerable to a DOM XSS vulnerability.
A user with Editor permissions is able to modify such a panel in order to make it execute arbitrary JavaScript.
Grafana is an open-source platform for monitoring and observability.
The Grafana Alerting VictorOps integration was not properly protected and could be exposed to users with Viewer permission.
Fixed in versions 11.5.0, 11.4.1, 11.3.3, 11.2.6, 11.1.11, 11.0.11 and 10.4.15

Grafana SQL Expressions allow for remote code execution
The SQL Expressions experimental feature of Grafana allows for the evaluation of `duckdb` queries containing user input. These queries are insufficiently sanitized before being passed to `duckdb`, leading to a command injection and local file inclusion vulnerability. Any user with the VIEWER or higher permission is capable of executing this attack. The `duckdb` binary must be present in Grafana's $PATH for this attack to function; by default, this binary is not installed in Grafana distributions.
Grafana alerting wrong permission on datasource rule write endpoint
In Grafana, the wrong permission is applied to the alert rule write API endpoint, allowing users with permission to write external alert instances to also write alert rules.
