CVE-2026-33377 Grafana dashboard import ACL overwrite

REPRODUCED LAB VALIDATED

OVERVIEW

Vulnerable12.4.2
Patched12.4.3+security-02

Vendor reported

Vendor-reported fixed versions

11.6.14+security-04 / 12.2.8+security-04 / 12.3.6+security-04 / 12.4.3+security-02 / 13.0.1+security-01

Only the lab versions above were independently reproduced by CVE Mapping.

LAB OBSERVED

What this lab demonstrates

The synthetic Editor gained dashboard-scoped Admin on 12.4.2; the same logical action retained Edit on 12.4.3+security-02.

The vulnerable and patched modes used equivalent controlled actions. Application state—not a successful HTTP status alone—is decisive.

VULNERABLE VS PATCHED RESULT

VULNERABLE

Runtime accepted and the documented state difference was observed.

PATCHED CONTROL

Runtime accepted and the expected safe state was retained.

CI VALIDATED

Evidence, telemetry, and detection checks are recorded in the manifest.

DETECTION COVERAGE

Detection engineering

  • Sigma1 lab-validated analytic; 1 experimental contextual analytic
  • Splunk1 lab-validated analytic; 1 experimental contextual analytic
  • Elastic1 lab-validated analytic; 1 experimental contextual analytic

Grafana router logs provide request context, but the dashboard permission transition is not present in a single router event. The strongest analytic requires correlated authorization-state snapshots; the import request alone does not prove exploitation.

FIXTURE DISCRIMINATION

Lab fixture performance

Validated state-change analytics matched vulnerable activity and did not match patched or benign controls. Contextual analytics are reported separately and are not promoted to vulnerability discriminators.

EVIDENCE & TELEMETRY

Preserved and verifiable

Sanitized evidence and normalized telemetry are tracked by manifest and SHA-256 integrity files.

LIMITATIONS & SAFETY

Scope stays explicit.

The lab does not claim independent reproduction of every vendor-reported version. It requires authorized defensive use, synthetic identity, and a bounded controlled proof.
