CVE-2026-33378Network attack vector

Authenticated server crash via negative macro interval

Published May 13, 2026 · Updated May 13, 2026

Uncontrolled resource consumption in affected Grafana OSS releases allows remote authenticated users to crash the server. The SQL data-source macro accepts a negative grouping interval without validation, causing memory use to grow until out-of-memory termination. A low-privileged account and configured SQL data source are required; exploitation can take about 30 minutes, and automatic restart limits disruption.
