Anonymous access is an explicit exploitation path per the description, warranting PR:N; sustained HTTP volume does not constitute true attack complexity, so AC:L better reflects the actual condition.

DescriptionCVE.org

The alertmanager templates test endpoint (/api/alertmanager/grafana/config/api/v1/templates/test) can execute templates with no memory limits. Mass-executing templates in a short period causes OOM and crashes the Grafana service. The endpoint requires very low privileges and is exploitable with anonymous access enabled.

AnalysisAI

Grafana OSS exposes an unauthenticated or low-privilege denial-of-service path through its alertmanager templates test endpoint, which executes Go templates with no memory limits. Mass-execution of requests to /api/alertmanager/grafana/config/api/v1/templates/test in a short window exhausts heap memory, crashing the Grafana process entirely. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and this vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the anonymous-access exploitation path and low privilege bar make this a realistic availability risk for internet-exposed Grafana instances.

Technical ContextAI

Grafana OSS integrates a managed Alertmanager with a REST API that includes a template testing endpoint. Templates in Grafana Alertmanager are rendered using Go's text/template engine, which is invoked at request time to preview notification content. The root cause is the absence of memory quotas or concurrency controls when rendering templates via this endpoint - the engine can allocate unbounded heap memory per request. Repeated rapid calls therefore accumulate memory until the OS OOM killer terminates the Grafana process. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:grafana:grafana_oss:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering the open-source distribution. No CWE has been formally assigned, but this maps conceptually to CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption). The attack surface is further widened by Grafana's optional anonymous access feature, which, when enabled, removes even the low-privilege authentication barrier described in the CVSS vector.

RemediationAI

Consult the Grafana security advisory at https://grafana.com/security/security-advisories/cve-2026-21723 and apply the vendor-released patch; the exact fixed version is not independently confirmed from the available intelligence data and must be verified from that source. As an immediate compensating control, disable anonymous access in Grafana's configuration ([auth.anonymous] enabled = false in grafana.ini) to raise the exploitation bar to at minimum low-privilege authenticated users - note this will break publicly embedded dashboard use cases. Additionally, configure network-layer or reverse-proxy rate limiting on the path /api/alertmanager/grafana/config/api/v1/templates/test to throttle mass requests; this reduces the OOM trigger surface but may slow legitimate template testing workflows. If the alertmanager templates feature is not in use, restricting access to the alertmanager API paths at the ingress level provides a lower-risk workaround until the patch is applied.
