High · 8.1 Public exploit CVE-2026-21721 EUVD-2026-4820GHSA-jgfq-mgxg-4qwm

Dashboard Permissions Scope Bypass Enables Cross‑Dashboard Privilege Escalation

Published Jan 27, 2026 · Updated Aug 27, 2026 · Assigned by GRAFANA

Description

The dashboard permissions API does not verify the target dashboard scope and only checks the dashboards.permissions:* action. As a result, a user who has permission management rights on one dashboard can read and modify permissions on other dashboards. This is an organization‑internal privilege escalation.
