AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw is a race condition in Grafana Live that permits a logged‑in user with the Viewer role to dispatch concurrent requests that trigger a fatal map access error, crashing the Grafana server and rendering all services unavailable until a restart. The immediate consequence is a denial of service for every user of the affected instance.

Affected Systems

Grafana OSS installations are impacted. No specific version ranges are provided in the advisory, so any deployment of Grafana OSS should be considered potentially vulnerable unless a patch has been applied.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score of < 1% denotes a very low probability of exploitation in the wild, although the vulnerability is not listed in KEV. Attack requires authentic access with a Viewer role; an attacker can send burst concurrent Live requests to trigger a crash, causing a service outage. No public exploit is known, but lack of KEV status does not reduce risk inside trusted environments.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply any available Grafana OSS patch addressing CVE-2026-28379 as promptly as possible
  • Disable Grafana Live for users with Viewer role or remove that role entirely
  • Implement rate limiting or network controls to prevent burst concurrent requests to the Live endpoint
  • Monitor Grafana logs for patterns of concurrent requests and unexpected crashes
