Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Grafana (Go module github.com/grafana/grafana) is vulnerable across many version ranges, including before 1.9.2-0.20260616075434-82ef13993059 and from 2.0.0-beta1 onward on several release lines. The public dashboard query endpoint does not limit request body size before processing, so an unauthenticated attacker can send very large JSON payloads to exhaust memory and cause a denial of service. Upgrade to 1.9.2-0.20260616075434-82ef13993059 or a later fixed version.
