CVE-2026-11769 (GCVE-0-2026-11769)
Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2026-06-13 04:17 – Updated: 2026-06-16 12:01
VLAI
Title
Operator - Namespaced User Path Traversal
Summary
We have released version 5.24.0 of the Grafana Operator. This patch includes a CRITICAL severity security fix for a path traversal/privilege escalation vulnerability in the Grafana Operator.
### Summary
The Grafana Operator supports loading dashboards & library panels using the jsonnet data templating language. The jsonnet expression is evaluated in the context of the operator manager pod.
### Impact
It is possible for a malicious user who can create Dashboard or LibraryPanel resources for a Grafana instance to obtain the Kubernetes service account token of the Grafana Operator manager.
### Affected versions
All Grafana Operator versions <= 5.23
### Solutions and mitigations
All installations should be upgraded as soon as possible.
As a workaround, the following ValidatingAdmissionPolicy prevent the creation or modification of jsonnet based resources:
apiVersion: admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1
kind: ValidatingAdmissionPolicy
metadata:
name: "prevent-jsonnet-dashboards"
spec:
failurePolicy: Fail
matchConstraints:
resourceRules:
- apiGroups: ["grafana.integreatly.org"]
apiVersions: ["v1beta1"]
operations: ["CREATE", "UPDATE"]
resources: ["grafanadashboards", "grafanalibrarypanels"]
validations:
- expression: "!has(object.spec.jsonnetLib)"
---
apiVersion: admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1
kind: ValidatingAdmissionPolicyBinding
metadata:
name: "prevent-jsonnet-dashboards-clusterwide"
spec:
policyName: "prevent-jsonnet-dashboards"
validationActions: [Deny]
### Acknowledgement
We would like to thank Artem Cherezov for responsibly disclosing the vulnerability.
