CVE-2026-28383Network attack vector

Authenticated server crash via unbounded request-body read

Published May 13, 2026 · Updated May 13, 2026

Denial of service in Grafana OSS allows remote authenticated users to crash the server through crafted plugin resource requests. The plugin resources endpoint reads the entire attacker-controlled request body into memory without a size limit, permitting unbounded allocation. Any authenticated user who can reach the endpoint can exhaust process memory and cause an out-of-memory crash, with no reported confidentiality or integrity impact.
