CVE-2026-11769Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Service-account token disclosure via unscoped Jsonnet imports

Published Jun 13, 2026 · Updated Jun 13, 2026

Path traversal in Grafana Labs Grafana Operator 5.23.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read the manager pod's files. The Jsonnet project builder passed attacker-controlled import paths to jsonnet.FileImporter, allowing absolute or parent-directory paths to escape the extracted project root. Create or update access to Dashboard or LibraryPanel resources is required; reading the mounted service-account token exposes the operator manager's Kubernetes identity.
