Grafana: Path traversal in Git Sync delete and move jobs
Summary
A path traversal flaw in the Git Sync feature of Grafana OSS and Enterprise allows a user who can create Git Sync provisioning jobs to delete or move files outside the configured repository path. By default this requires the Editor role. With a local filesystem repository, the files affected can be on the Grafana host. Confidentiality and availability are not affected according to the CVSS vector, but integrity is high impact.
Affected
- Grafana OSS and Enterprise per the CVE record: 13.0.0 to 13.0.12, 13.1.0 to 13.1.9, 13.2.0 to 13.2.5, 13.3.0 (default: unaffected)
- Per the CVE description: local filesystem repositories before 13.0.4 and 13.1.1
- Conflicting ranges between sources; the vendor advisory has not been verified
Fixed in
- Upgrade to 13.0.4 or 13.1.1 or later, according to the CVE description
- Exact fixed builds for 13.2.x and 13.3.x: Unknown (vendor advisory not verified)
Workaround
Unknown. No vendor workaround was found.
Exploitation
Not known to be exploited. No public exploit code or proof of concept was found. NVD enrichment is pending and there is no CISA KEV entry.
Our recommendation
- Check whether Grafana is in use with Git Sync, especially with local filesystem repositories.
- Upgrade Grafana to 13.0.4, 13.1.1 or later in the next maintenance window, or sooner if Editor access is broad.
- Review and restrict who holds the Editor role and who can create Git Sync provisioning jobs.
- Check the Grafana host for unexpected deleted or moved files and confirm that backups cover the host.
- Limit internet exposure of the Grafana web interface.
Public exploits
PoC-in-GitHub, Metasploit and Exploit-DB list nothing for this CVE.

Original description (NVD)
A user who can create Git Sync provisioning jobs (the Editor role by default) could delete or move files outside the configured repository path with a job that references a resource whose source path contains ../ sequences (path traversal). With a local filesystem repository on versions before 13.0.4 and 13.1.1, this reached files on the Grafana host.
