CVE-2026-28377
Description
A flaw was found in Grafana Tempo. This vulnerability exposes the S3 Server-Side Encryption with Customer-Provided Keys (SSE-C) encryption key in plaintext through the /status/config endpoint. A remote attacker could exploit this to obtain the key, potentially allowing unauthorized access and decryption of sensitive trace data stored in S3.
Mitigation
Restrict network access to the Grafana Tempo service to trusted networks only. This will limit the ability of unauthorized remote attackers to access the `/status/config` endpoint and retrieve sensitive S3 encryption keys. Configure firewall rules to prevent external access to the Grafana Tempo service. This mitigation may impact legitimate access if not configured carefully. Ensure network restrictions persist across service reloads or system restarts.
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.

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Confidentiality
Technical Impact: Read Application Data
An attacker with access to the system could read sensitive information stored in cleartext (i.e., unencrypted). Even if the information is encoded in a way that is not human-readable, certain techniques could determine which encoding is being used, then decode the information.
