Description

CVE-2026-95502 is a medium severity vulnerability in Grafana's Git Sync provisioning feature. A Git server configured for Git Sync can exhaust Grafana's memory by returning oversized or highly compressed responses, leading to uncontrolled resource consumption. Exploitation requires that an administrator has configured Git Sync to use the malicious Git server. There is no indication of data confidentiality or integrity impact, only availability degradation due to resource exhaustion. No patch or vendor advisory is currently provided. The vulnerability affects Grafana installations using Git Sync with untrusted Git servers.

Technical Analysis

This vulnerability arises when Grafana's Git Sync provisioning feature interacts with a Git server that returns oversized or highly compressed responses. Such responses can exhaust Grafana's memory resources, causing a denial of service via uncontrolled resource consumption. Exploitation requires administrative configuration of Git Sync to use the malicious Git server. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.3 (medium), reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and impact limited to availability loss. No patch or remediation details are currently available.

Potential Impact

The impact is limited to availability degradation of Grafana due to memory exhaustion caused by oversized or highly compressed Git server responses. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity. The vulnerability requires administrative configuration of Git Sync to a malicious or compromised Git server, which then can cause Grafana to consume excessive memory and potentially crash or become unresponsive.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, administrators should avoid configuring Git Sync with untrusted or potentially malicious Git servers. Monitoring and limiting resource consumption related to Git Sync may help mitigate impact.
