CVE-2026-33374: Grafana unbounded memory allocation in Prometheus rule conversion API

CVE-2026-33374 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-13

Grafana's Prometheus rule conversion API does not restrict request body size, allowing authenticated users to send extremely large requests that consume all available memory and crash the server. An attacker with valid Grafana credentials can exploit this to cause a denial of service, disrupting monitoring and alerting for dependent systems.

Technologies: Grafana Labs Grafana. Vendors: Grafana Labs.
