DescriptionCVE.org

A resample query can be used to trigger out-of-memory crashes in Grafana.

AnalysisAI

Grafana versions prior to patching are vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks via maliciously crafted resample queries that exhaust server memory and trigger out-of-memory crashes. Authenticated users with query execution privileges can exploit this low-complexity remote vulnerability to disrupt service availability. No public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation has been identified at the time of analysis, though the attack surface is broad given Grafana's widespread deployment in monitoring infrastructure.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability exists in Grafana's time-series data resampling functionality, which processes query results to normalize temporal granularity for visualization and aggregation. The resample operation lacks proper memory bounds checking or input validation when handling large result sets or pathological query parameters. When an attacker submits a specially crafted resample query, the backend allocates unbounded memory buffers, eventually exhausting available heap space and triggering out-of-memory exceptions that crash the Grafana process. This is a resource exhaustion vulnerability (implicit in the denial-of-service impact) affecting the core querying engine used across all Grafana data sources. The CPE (cpe:2.3:a:grafana:grafana:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) confirms that all versions of the Grafana application are potentially affected until a patched release is deployed.

RemediationAI

Apply the security patch released by Grafana as documented in the official security advisory at https://grafana.com/security/security-advisories/cve-2026-27879. Consult the advisory for your specific version track (open source, Enterprise, Cloud) to obtain the exact patched release. Until patching is completed, implement network-level access controls to restrict Grafana query execution to trusted internal users and service accounts, disable or restrict programmatic query APIs if not required, and configure resource limits (memory cgroups, container limits) on the Grafana process to prevent full system impact from out-of-memory events. Monitor Grafana error logs for repeated out-of-memory exceptions as an indicator of exploitation attempts.
