CVE-2025-3260
Description
A flaw was found in Grafana. This vulnerability allows users with Viewer or Editor roles to access or modify dashboards without proper permissions.
Statement
This vulnerability is rated with an Important severity due to its ability to completely bypass role-based access controls, allowing users with VIEWER or EDITOR roles to access, modify, or delete dashboards regardless of permissions.
The impact is further amplified when anonymous authentication is enabled, where unauthenticated users can perform privileged actions, significantly increasing exposure. Although organization-level isolation remains intact, the failure to enforce dashboard-level permissions undermines core security guarantees.
It’s important to note that this issue affects only Grafana version 11.6.0, which is not included in any Red Hat supported builds, and therefore Red Hat customers are not impacted.
Mitigation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
