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 | Exploitation requires network reachability to a running Grafana instance (default HTTP service on TCP 3000) and no authentication or user interaction, consistent with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N. The specific triggering feature or endpoint is not detailed in the provided description beyond the CWE-400 resource-exhaustion class, so the exact vulnerable request cannot be named from available data - verify against the Grafana advisory. Practical exploitation is limited to reachable instances: Grafana deployments that are not internet-exposed, sit behind an authenticating proxy, or are firewalled to management-only networks are substantially harder to attack despite the unauthenticated CVSS profile. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, score 7.5 High) indicates a straightforward network-based, unauthenticated attack requiring no user interaction, with impact confined entirely to availability - no confidentiality or integrity loss. This is a pure denial-of-service issue, consistent with the CWE-400 classification and the 'Denial Of Service' tag. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC signal was supplied in the input, so real-world exploitation pressure cannot be quantified from the available data; treat the 7.5 as an upper-bound severity for an availability-only flaw rather than evidence of active targeting. For internet-exposed Grafana instances the low attack complexity makes this a legitimate patch priority, whereas instances behind authentication proxies or restricted networks face materially lower practical risk. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who can reach a Grafana instance over the network sends crafted requests that trigger the uncontrolled resource consumption path, driving memory or CPU usage until the service becomes unresponsive and dashboards/alerting go dark. Because no authentication or user interaction is required, an internet-exposed instance can be knocked offline by a single low-privilege remote actor. No public POC is identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv3 – Jul 10, 2026
Denial of service in Grafana (fixed in Alpine Linux package grafana 12.4.4-r0) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to exhaust server resources and render the observability dashboard unavailable. The flaw is classified as uncontrolled resource consumption (CWE-400) with a network-reachable, no-privilege, no-interaction attack profile (CVSS 7.5, availability-only). There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Earlier versions of this analysis (2)
Denial of service in Grafana (Alpine Linux package, versions before 12.4.4-r0) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to exhaust server resources and render the observability dashboard unavailable. The CWE-400 uncontrolled resource consumption flaw carries availability-only impact (CVSS 7.5) with no confidentiality or integrity effect. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Grafana, as packaged in Alpine Linux, contains a vulnerability addressed in the Alpine package release 12.4.4-r0. The upstream Grafana version fixed is 12.4.4. The nature, impact, and exploitability of the underlying vulnerability are not disclosed in the available intelligence - only the fix packaging metadata has been published by the Alpine Linux vendor. Security teams running Grafana on Alpine Linux should treat this as a security-relevant update requiring investigation against Grafana upstream advisories.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade the Alpine grafana package to 12.4.4-r0 or later (e.g., apk update && apk upgrade grafana), which is the fixed revision cited in the input. Users of non-Alpine Grafana builds should apply the corresponding upstream fixed release identified in the Grafana security advisory at https://grafana.com/security/security-advisories/cve-2026-33382. As compensating controls until patching, restrict network access to the Grafana port (default TCP 3000) to trusted management networks or place it behind an authenticating reverse proxy, and apply rate limiting on the affected endpoints to blunt resource-exhaustion attempts; note these controls reduce exposure but do not remove the underlying flaw and may inconvenience legitimate remote users.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Grafana is a widely deployed open-source observability and analytics platform used to visualize metrics, logs, and traces, typically exposed over HTTP(S) on port 3000. The vulnerability falls under CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption), meaning a code path fails to bound memory, CPU, connections, or other finite resources when processing attacker-influenced input, allowing a small request to consume disproportionate server resources. This entry specifically tracks the fix as shipped in the Alpine Linux distribution's grafana package at version 12.4.4-r0 (the '-r0' suffix is Alpine's package revision, not an upstream Grafana release tag); the underlying issue is documented in the upstream Grafana security advisory referenced by NVD.

Alpine Linux: grafana fixed in 12.4.4-r0
Executive ViewAI
Grafana's observability dashboard can be disabled by unauthenticated remote attackers, disrupting critical monitoring and incident response capabilities. Organizations running vulnerable versions risk losing visibility into production systems during active incidents, potentially delaying incident detection and response.
Apply vendor patch: grafana 12.4.4-r0 or later.
