An Editor can overwrite a dashboard not owned by them to acquire admin on that specific dashboard. The user must have write access to the dashboard to escalate privilege.
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in Grafana OSS allows an authenticated Editor with write access to a dashboard they do not own to overwrite that dashboard and acquire admin permissions on it. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-33377 and disclosed by Grafana with patches across multiple maintained branches, has CVSS 7.1 reflecting high integrity impact via low-privileged network access. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS sits at 0.03% (8th percentile), but the high integrity impact warrants prompt patching for multi-tenant Grafana deployments.
Technical ContextAI
Grafana OSS is the open-source observability and dashboarding platform maintained by Grafana Labs (CPE cpe:2.3:a:grafana:grafana_oss). The issue maps to CWE-284 (Improper Access Control): the dashboard-overwrite code path validates write access to the dashboard object but fails to enforce that the actor is the owner before transferring or granting dashboard-level admin permissions. As a result, an Editor role user - who legitimately has write access to a shared dashboard - can use the overwrite operation to elevate themselves to admin on that specific resource, breaking Grafana's per-dashboard permission model.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to a Grafana-released patched build: 11.6.14+security-04, 12.2.8+security-04, 12.3.6+security-04, 12.4.3+security-02, or 13.0.1+security-01, whichever corresponds to your branch, per the Grafana security advisory at https://grafana.com/security/security-advisories/cve-2026-33377. Until patching is possible, compensating controls include auditing dashboard permissions to ensure Editors do not have write access to dashboards they should not administer (revoke direct or team-inherited write grants on sensitive dashboards), and reviewing recent dashboard updates for unauthorized permission changes - note that tightening Editor write access will block legitimate collaborative editing on shared dashboards, so scope changes to sensitive dashboards only. Monitor dashboard permission and update audit logs for unexpected admin grants on shared dashboards.
