## What is CVE-2026-13720?

CVE-2026-13720 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Grafana Enterprise, published on 30 Sep 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

An Editor can set file-provisioning metadata (the grafana.app/managedBy, grafana.app/managerId and grafana.app/sourcePath annotations) when creating a dashboard through the dashboard API, because these fields were stored without an authorization check. The dashboard then appears file-provisioned, and administrators can no longer update or delete it through Grafana. The impact is limited to the same organization and no data is exposed.

Weakness: CWE-915 (Improperly Controlled Modification of Dynamically-Determined Object Attributes), CWE-345 (Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity), CWE-285 (Improper Authorization)

What it is: CVE-2026-13720 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Grafana Enterprise, published on 30 Sep 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-13720 in the wild and no public exploit code.

- grafana (Bitnami): affected from 12.0.0; fixed in 12.4.12, 13.0.10, 13.1.7, 13.2.3

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
