AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-28380 is an authorization vulnerability in Grafana OSS where users assigned the Editor role can delete snapshots without having explicit read or write permissions on those snapshots. This flaw violates intended access controls, potentially allowing unauthorized modification of snapshot data. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-862 (Improper Authorization) and affects multiple specific versions of Grafana OSS. There is no vendor advisory or patch available at this time, and no known exploits have been reported in the wild.

This could disrupt monitoring or reporting workflows that rely on these snapshots, but does not impact confidentiality or availability directly. The CVSS score of 6.5 reflects a medium severity due to the integrity impact without confidentiality or availability loss.
Mitigation Recommendations
