Authenticated SQL Macro Injection in Grafana Data Sources

Publication date: 2026-09-02

Last updated on: 2026-09-02

Assigner: Grafana Labs

Description
An authenticated user with permission to query a SQL data source can bypass the fix for CVE-2026-33375 by injecting the timeGroup macro through a WHERE clause, which Grafana's regex-based macro parsing does not reject. Evaluating the injected macro causes uncontrolled memory consumption that can terminate the Grafana server process, resulting in a denial of service. The Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL data sources are affected.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability allows an authenticated user with SQL data source query permissions to bypass a previous fix by injecting a timeGroup macro through a WHERE clause. Grafana's regex-based macro parsing fails to block this injection, leading to uncontrolled memory consumption that can crash the Grafana server, causing a denial of service.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability can be detected by monitoring for unusual memory consumption in Grafana server processes or by checking for unauthorized SQL macro injections in queries. Look for Grafana logs indicating high memory usage or server crashes. No specific commands are provided in the context.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with valid credentials could exploit this to crash the Grafana server, disrupting monitoring and visualization services. This could lead to loss of visibility into system metrics and potential downtime for dependent applications.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could impact compliance with GDPR and HIPAA by causing a denial of service through uncontrolled memory consumption, potentially leading to service unavailability. Unauthorized access or disruption of Grafana servers may affect data integrity and availability, which are critical requirements under these regulations.

Mitigation Strategies

Update Grafana to the latest version to address the macro injection issue. Disable or restrict SQL data source permissions for users to limit authenticated access. Monitor server memory usage and Grafana logs for unusual activity indicating memory consumption.
