AI Analysis

Impact

The OpenFeature evaluation endpoint in Grafana reads input data into memory without imposing any limits. This unbounded allocation can exhaust the process memory, leading to an out-of-memory crash and a denial of service for all clients relying on the API. The weakness corresponds to uncontrolled memory allocation (CWE‑770) and also exhibits characteristics of an out-of-bounds write (CWE‑787).

Affected Systems

The flaw is present in all Grafana installations that expose the OpenFeature evaluation API. No specific version information is listed in the CVE data, so any Grafana instance that uses this endpoint is potentially affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.5 reflects a moderate-to-high severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% suggests that exploitation is relatively unlikely at present, and the vulnerability is not yet listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The vulnerability can be exercised by sending a crafted request to the OpenFeature evaluation endpoint over the network, which is inferred from the nature of the API.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Grafana to the latest release that fixes the OpenFeature evaluation API memory handling.
  • Restrict network access to the OpenFeature evaluation endpoint, allowing only trusted internal services or IP ranges to invoke it.
  • Configure the application or Grafana to impose a reasonable maximum size for evaluation requests, if such a setting is available.
  • Monitor Grafana logs and metrics for out-of-memory crashes or abnormal memory usage and set alerts accordingly.
