CVE-2026-14242 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-11-11

Grafana is an open-source observability platform that manages dashboards and configurations across teams. An Editor role user could bypass folder permission checks to delete, move, or modify Git Sync managed resources even in folders where they only have view access, by creating provisioning jobs through an API. This allows unauthorized modification of critical monitoring configurations.

## Technical details

A user with the Editor role can circumvent folder-level permission checks by creating a provisioning job through the jobs resource API. The Git Sync feature fails to validate folder permissions during job creation, allowing deletion, movement, push, or pull operations on resources in folders where the attacker has only view access. The vulnerability is an incorrect authorization check in the provisioning job endpoint.
