MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Impact The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation against default configurations of Grafana, with the only requirement being network reachability to the Grafana HTTP listener (typically TCP/3000) on a version prior to the Alpine-packaged 12.4.4-r0 fix. Limiting factors are minimal per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), so the practical constraint is exposure: Grafana instances confined to internal management VLANs or behind authenticating reverse proxies face materially lower realistic risk than internet-exposed deployments. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 (High) reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack producing high availability impact with no confidentiality or integrity loss. No EPSS score, KEV listing, SSVC decision, or POC indicator was supplied, so exploitation likelihood cannot be quantitatively ranked - defenders should treat any internet-exposed Grafana instance as a meaningful target given Grafana's broad deployment footprint. There is a notable inconsistency in the input data: the 'Information Disclosure' tag conflicts with the CVSS vector (C:N/I:N/A:H), which describes a pure availability impact; this discrepancy should be resolved by consulting the Grafana security advisory before final prioritization. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who can reach a vulnerable Grafana instance over the network sends a single crafted HTTP request to a pre-authentication endpoint, triggering a condition that exhausts resources or crashes the server process and rendering monitoring dashboards unavailable. Because the CVSS vector requires no privileges and no user interaction, the scenario is repeatable and can be scripted to keep the service down. No public exploit identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv3 – Jun 22, 2026
Denial of service in Grafana prior to 12.4.4-r0 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to disrupt service availability over the network with low complexity. Alpine Linux has shipped the fixed package version, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Despite tagging suggesting information disclosure, the CVSS vector indicates an availability-only impact, which warrants clarification from the vendor advisory.
Earlier versions of this analysis (2)
Denial-of-service condition affects Grafana deployments on Alpine Linux prior to package version 12.4.4-r0, allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to disrupt service availability over the network. The Alpine security tracker rates this 7.5 (high) with an availability-only impact, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Despite the 'Information Disclosure' tag in source metadata, the CVSS vector (C:N/I:N/A:H) indicates the realized impact is availability loss rather than data exposure - discrepancy worth verifying with the upstream Grafana advisory.
Grafana on Alpine Linux was patched at package version 12.4.4-r0, addressing CVE-2026-42127. The underlying vulnerability type, attack vector, and impact have not been disclosed in the available intelligence - only the Alpine Linux vendor advisory confirming a fix is present. No CVSS score, CWE classification, or description of the flaw has been provided, making authoritative characterization impossible at this time.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Alpine Linux grafana package version 12.4.4-r0 - upgrade via 'apk upgrade grafana' on affected Alpine systems, and consult https://grafana.com/security/security-advisories/cve-2026-42127 for upstream Grafana versioning guidance applicable to non-Alpine deployments. Where immediate patching is not possible, restrict network access to the Grafana HTTP listener (default TCP/3000) to trusted management subnets via firewall or reverse proxy ACLs, and place Grafana behind an authenticating proxy with rate limiting to blunt unauthenticated availability attacks; the trade-off is that legitimate users on uncontrolled networks lose direct access until the proxy is configured to permit them.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Grafana is an open-source analytics and interactive visualization web application widely deployed for monitoring metrics, logs, and traces, typically exposed via HTTP/HTTPS on port 3000. This advisory was syndicated by Alpine Linux's security team, which packages Grafana and tracks upstream CVEs for its distribution. The CWE classification is not provided, so the precise root cause class (e.g., resource exhaustion, uncontrolled recursion, or null dereference) cannot be definitively identified from the data, though the AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/A:H vector pattern is consistent with an unauthenticated network-reachable resource exhaustion or crash-inducing input flaw in an HTTP endpoint.

Alpine Linux: grafana fixed in 12.4.4-r0
Executive ViewAI
A denial-of-service vulnerability in Grafana (CVE-2026-42127) affecting versions prior to 12.4.4-r0 could disable critical monitoring and alerting infrastructure. For organizations depending on Grafana for observability, this vulnerability could eliminate visibility into production systems and severely impact incident response capabilities.
Vendor-released patch: Grafana 12.4.4-r0. If immediate patching is delayed, implement network segmentation to restrict remote access to Grafana instances, deploy a reverse proxy with rate limiting in front of Grafana, and establish independent out-of-band monitoring to maintain visibility into production systems during maintenance windows.
