Technical details
An authorization bypass in the Grafana dashboard API fails to validate Editor permissions when setting grafana.app/managedBy, grafana.app/managerId, and grafana.app/sourcePath annotations during dashboard creation. Once these metadata fields are set, the dashboard is treated as file-provisioned, blocking admin modification or deletion through the API. This is a business logic flaw with network attack vector requiring authentication as an Editor role.
