CVE-2026-13720

MediumCVSS 5.4
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In Grafana, a user with the Editor role can set file-provisioning metadata (grafana.app/managedBy, grafana.app/managerId and grafana.app/sourcePath annotations) when creating a dashboard through the dashboard API, because these fields were stored without an authorization check. The dashboard then appears file-provisioned, and administrators can no longer update or delete it through Grafana. The impact is limited to the same organization and no data is exposed.

Risk Assessment

A user with the Editor role can block administrators from managing a dashboard, potentially leading to operational issues and loss of control over resources in the organization.

Recommendation

Update Grafana to a version that includes a fix enforcing authorization checks for these fields. Additionally, restrict Editor role permissions and regularly audit dashboards.
