Authenticated service crash via unbounded resampling
Published Mar 27, 2026 · Updated Mar 27, 2026
Uncontrolled resource consumption in Grafana allows remote authenticated users to crash the server by submitting a crafted resample query. Series.Resample in pkg/expr/mathexp derives a new series length from the supplied time range and interval, then allocates that series without enforcing a maximum. Access capable of executing server-side expressions is required; exploitation exhausts process memory and interrupts service without reported data disclosure or modification.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=v12.0.0 <v12.1.10
- Affected versionversion=v12.2.0 <v12.2.8
- Affected versionversion=v12.3.0 <v12.3.6
