Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a valid Grafana session with at minimum an Editor role (confirmed by CVSS PR:L). The Grafana snapshot feature must be in use and enabled - instances where snapshots have never been created or the feature is disabled present no attack surface. Critically, the attacker must be able to identify or enumerate snapshot IDs belonging to snapshots outside their legitimate access scope; snapshot IDs in Grafana are typically random strings, so brute-force enumeration is impractical without prior knowledge (e.g., from a shared link or API enumeration with broader read access). Unauthenticated users and Viewer-role users cannot exploit this vulnerability. Single-tenant deployments where all users have equal access to all dashboards face no meaningful data segregation risk from this issue.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N scores 6.5 (Medium), reflecting network-accessible, low-complexity exploitation with a low-privilege prerequisite, yielding high integrity impact but no confidentiality or availability loss. EPSS at 0.03% (8th percentile) indicates very low observed exploitation probability in the wild. SSVC corroborates this: exploitation is none, automatable is no, and technical impact is only partial - consistent with an attack requiring a valid Editor credential and specific knowledge of a target snapshot ID. No KEV listing exists and no public exploit code has been identified. The risk is most relevant to multi-tenant Grafana deployments where Editor roles are distributed across separate teams with data segregation requirements - a compromised or malicious Editor could selectively destroy snapshots belonging to other teams. Organizations running single-tenant Grafana with uniformly trusted Editor users face minimal incremental risk beyond what existing Editor access already permits.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated Grafana user holding an Editor role enumerates snapshot IDs - discoverable through Grafana's UI, API, or shared links distributed within the organization - belonging to dashboards outside their access scope. The Editor then issues a DELETE request to the Grafana snapshot API targeting one of these foreign snapshot IDs; the server processes the deletion without validating object-level permissions, successfully destroying the snapshot. No public exploit code has been identified, so exploitation currently requires manual interaction rather than automated tooling.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 08, 2026

Missing authorization in Grafana OSS's snapshot deletion endpoint allows any authenticated Editor-role user to delete arbitrary snapshots across the platform, regardless of whether they hold read or write access to those snapshots. Affected versions span a wide release range from 9.4.0 through 13.0.1 across multiple major branches (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:grafana:grafana_oss). With EPSS at 0.03% (8th percentile), SSVC exploitation rated none, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, the practical threat is primarily insider abuse or compromised Editor credentials being used to destroy monitoring data outside an attacker's legitimate scope.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to the appropriate vendor-patched release for your current branch: 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, as confirmed by Grafana's security advisory at https://grafana.com/security/security-advisories/cve-2026-28380. As a compensating control prior to patching, audit and aggressively restrict Editor-role assignments to only fully trusted personnel, reducing the pool of accounts capable of exploitation - note this does not eliminate the vulnerability, only limits exposure. Alternatively, disabling the Grafana snapshot feature entirely via grafana.ini (set [snapshots] enabled = false) removes the attack surface completely at the cost of losing the snapshot sharing workflow for all users. No workarounds that surgically restrict snapshot deletion without disabling the feature entirely are evident from available data.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Grafana OSS is an open-source observability and dashboarding platform identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:grafana:grafana_oss. Its snapshot feature allows users to publish point-in-time copies of dashboards as shareable, externally accessible URLs. The root cause, CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), indicates the snapshot deletion API endpoint fails to perform object-level access control checks - it validates that the caller holds an Editor role but does not verify whether that Editor has read or write permissions scoped to the specific snapshot being deleted. This is a classic Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA) pattern within Grafana's RBAC model, where role-level checks are present but resource-level authorization is absent for this particular destructive operation.
