Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Grafana. A remote attacker with authenticated access to a SQL datasource can exploit a vulnerability in the `$__timeGroup` macro. By sending specially crafted queries, an attacker can cause an Out of Memory (OOM) error, leading to the Grafana server crashing and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). This can disrupt the availability of the Grafana instance.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-13 20:03:41 UTC
Using the $__timeGroup macro, one can achieve an OOM by overloading the server. This requires a SQL datasource. If the server is set up to auto-restart, the impact is minimal or non-existent, as the attack can take upwards of half an hour to crash the server.
