CVE-2024-9264Network attack vector

Authenticated code execution via unsanitized SQL expressions

Published Oct 18, 2024 · Updated Mar 14, 2025

Command injection in SQL Expressions in Grafana 11 allows remote authenticated users to execute code through crafted queries. The SQL Expressions backend passes incompletely sanitized query text to the DuckDB CLI, permitting command execution and reads of host files. Viewer access or higher is required, and exploitation works only when the DuckDB binary is in the Grafana process PATH; standard distributions omit it.
