Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-11769/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-11769/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-11769","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-11769/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-11769","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fcw4-wwqm-m8cf","GO-2026-5355","MINI-f6q2-xmm5-jcr8","MINI-qmcw-8v3x-fj88"],"analysis":{"component_type":"container_or_infrastructure","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Kubernetes Operator","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A path traversal in Grafana Operator allows malicious users to steal Kubernetes service account tokens via jsonnet resources.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GRAFANA","cpe":[{"product":"grafana_operator","vendor":"grafana"}],"cvss":{"score":6.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"We have released version 5.24.0 of the Grafana Operator.

The jsonnet expression is evaluated in the context of the operator manager pod.\n\n### Impact\n\nIt 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.\n\n### Affected versions\n\nAll Grafana Operator versions \u003c= 5.23\n\n### Solutions and mitigations\n\nAll installations should be upgraded as soon as possible.\n\nAs a workaround, the following ValidatingAdmissionPolicy prevent the creation or modification of jsonnet based resources:\n\napiVersion: admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1\nkind: ValidatingAdmissionPolicy\nmetadata:\n  name: \"prevent-jsonnet-dashboards\"\nspec:\n  failurePolicy: Fail\n  matchConstraints:\n    resourceRules:\n      - apiGroups: [\"grafana.integreatly.org\"]\n        apiVersions: [\"v1beta1\"]\n        operations: [\"CREATE\", \"UPDATE\"]\n        resources: [\"grafanadashboards\", \"grafanalibrarypanels\"]\n  validations:\n    - expression: \"!has(object.spec.jsonnetLib)\"\n---\napiVersion: admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1\nkind: ValidatingAdmissionPolicyBinding\nmetadata:\n  name: \"prevent-jsonnet-dashboards-clusterwide\"\nspec:\n  policyName: \"prevent-jsonnet-dashboards\"\n  validationActions: [Deny]\n\n### Acknowledgement\n\nWe would like to thank Artem Cherezov for responsibly disclosing the vulnerability.","ecosystems":["Go"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Operator - Namespaced User Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2026-11769","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Go","product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2026"},"n_packages":8,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"389-ds-base: 389-ds-base: pre-auth ldap filter injection in cleanallruv status check","id":"CVE-2026-11770"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/grafana/grafana-operator","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/grafana/grafana-operator","source":"GO-2026-5355"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["2.0.0"],"package":"github.com/grafana/grafana-operator","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-fcw4-wwqm-m8cf"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["2.0.0"],"package":"github.com/grafana/grafana-operator","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/grafana/grafana-operator","source":"GHSA-fcw4-wwqm-m8cf"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/grafana/grafana-operator/v3","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/grafana/grafana-operator/v3","source":"GO-2026-5355"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/grafana/grafana-operator/v4","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/grafana/grafana-operator/v4","source":"GO-2026-5355"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["5.24.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/grafana/grafana-operator/v5","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-fcw4-wwqm-m8cf"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["5.24.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/grafana/grafana-operator/v5","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/grafana/grafana-operator/v5","source":"GHSA-fcw4-wwqm-m8cf"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["5.24.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/grafana/grafana-operator/v5","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/grafana/grafana-operator/v5","source":"GO-2026-5355"}],"prev":{"headline":"CRT Addons for Elementor \u003c 1.6.7 - Unauthenticated Stored XSS via Contact Form","id":"CVE-2026-11767"},"products":["Grafana Operator"],"published":"2026-06-13","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"Go Vulnerability Database","prefix":"GO"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-27","vendors":["Grafana"]},"summary":"A path traversal in Grafana Operator allows malicious users to steal Kubernetes service account tokens via jsonnet resources.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-11769/"}
