## What is CVE-2026-17183?

CVE-2026-17183 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Grafana Enterprise, published on 19 Aug 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

An authenticated user with permission to create or edit alert rules can bypass datasource query authorization by marking an alert rule query as a server-side expression while referencing a real datasource UID (incorrect authorization). This can expose data accessible through Grafana's configured datasource credentials to users who lack permission to query that datasource.

Weakness: CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization)
