DescriptionCVE.org

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.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution is achievable in Grafana installations through a chained attack combining SQL Expressions with a Grafana Enterprise plugin, affecting both open-source and Enterprise deployments. The vulnerability requires high-privilege authenticated access (PR:H) but enables cross-scope impact with complete system compromise once exploited. …

Impact
Execute arbitrary code on server

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires Grafana (OSS or Enterprise) with the sqlExpressions feature toggle explicitly enabled. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS score of 9.1 (Critical) reflects the severe impact potential with complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise plus changed scope. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An authenticated attacker with high-privilege administrative access to a Grafana instance with sqlExpressions enabled crafts a malicious SQL expression that chains with a Grafana Enterprise plugin to inject and execute arbitrary code on the server. The low attack complexity suggests exploitation involves straightforward interaction with existing Grafana features rather than complex race conditions or timing attacks. …
Remediation Update Grafana installations to the patched version specified in the Grafana security advisory at https://grafana.com/security/security-advisories/cve-2026-27876. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Audit all Grafana instances for sqlExpressions feature toggle status and disable the feature immediately on all affected deployments; restrict administrative access to Grafana to only essential personnel and enforce multi-factor authentication on all admin accounts. …
