CVE-2026-33382
HighCVSS 7.5Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk30th percentile - higher than 30% of all known CVEs
Summary
Several Grafana API endpoints, some of them unauthenticated, do not limit the size of the request body before processing it. An attacker can send very large payloads that force excessive memory allocation, potentially exhausting memory and causing a denial of service.
Risk Assessment
The risk is that an unauthenticated attacker can perform a DoS attack, potentially making the monitoring system unavailable and disrupting the organization's operational continuity.
Recommendation
Immediately update Grafana to a version that introduces request body size limits. Until the update, consider applying WAF rules to block excessively large requests.
Other vulnerabilities in Grafana
See all- CVE-2026-95502Medium
A Git server that Grafana's Git Sync (provisioning) is configured to use can exhaust Grafana's memory by returning oversized or highly compressed responses (uncontrolled resource consumption). Exploitation requires an administrator to have configured Git Sync with that server.
- CVE-2026-93294Medium
A user with query access to an Azure Monitor data source can use its resource proxy to call Azure Resource Manager APIs beyond those Grafana needs, with the data source's Azure identity (unintended proxy). The impact is bounded by the Azure role granted to that identity.
- CVE-2026-33374Medium
The Prometheus rule conversion API endpoints in Grafana do not limit request body size, allowing authenticated users to trigger unbounded memory allocations that can crash the server through out-of-memory conditions.
- CVE-2026-15577Medium
A user or service account with read-only access to Git Sync (provisioning) connections can modify a connection's configuration through its status subresource (incorrect authorization). On Grafana 12.4 the affected API is only available when the experimental provisioning feature toggle is enabled.
- CVE-2026-13720Medium
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.
- CVE-2026-13719Medium
In Grafana, an authenticated user can list alert rules stored in folders they are not allowed to read through the alert rules API list endpoint. When the set of folders the user may read was empty, the folder restriction was dropped and every alert rule in the organization was returned. From Grafana 13.1.0, any user can trigger this with a folder filter. The exposed data is rule configuration; data source credentials are not exposed.
- CVE-2026-81842Medium
An authenticated user with edit permission on one folder can move a library panel into another folder where they only have view permission, through the library elements API or the equivalent App Platform resource. The update path did not check library panel create permission on the destination folder (incorrect authorization). No data from the destination folder is disclosed, and existing content there cannot be changed.
- CVE-2026-81841Medium
Pausing a shared (public) dashboard did not revoke its access token for the endpoints that serve frontend bootstrap data. Anyone holding the link to a paused shared dashboard could still retrieve, without authenticating, the configuration of the dashboard's data sources, including stored credentials for data sources using browser access (missing authorization). Deleting the shared dashboard does revoke the token.
- CVE-2026-28381Critical
The Snowflake datasource vulnerability allows GET/PUT commands, enabling any user with query access to read/write files between the local Grafana server and the connected Snowflake host.
- CVE-2026-27876Critical
A chained attack via SQL Expressions and a Grafana Enterprise plugin can lead to remote arbitrary code execution (RCE). The vulnerability requires the sqlExpressions feature toggle to be enabled and affects specific Grafana OSS versions.
