CVE-2026-28381
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe Snowflake datasource allows for GET/PUT commands, which can allow any user with access to run queries against the data source to read/write files between the local grafana server and the connected Snowflake host.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThe Grafana Snowflake datasource exposes GET/PUT file transfer commands that allow any user with datasource query access to read from or write files to the local Grafana server filesystem through the connected Snowflake host, effectively bypassing proper authorization boundaries.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Grafana Snowflake datasource plugin installationLocate the Snowflake datasource plugin in your Grafana installation. Check the Grafana plugins directory (typically /var/lib/grafana/plugins or %PROGRAMDATA%\Grafana\plugins on Windows), or use 'grafana-cli plugins list' to enumerate installed plugins.Affected if The Snowflake datasource plugin is present in the Grafana instance
-
Determine installed Snowflake plugin versionRetrieve the version number of the installed Snowflake datasource plugin. This can be found in the plugin's plugin.json file within its directory, or via the Grafana UI under Configuration > Plugins > Snowflake.Affected if The installed version falls within >= 1.14.7 and <= 1.14.12
-
Inspect Snowflake datasource GET/PUT configurationOpen the Snowflake datasource configuration in Grafana (Configuration > Data Sources > Snowflake). Locate settings related to file transfer commands, often labeled as 'Allow GET/PUT commands' or similar file transfer enablement options.Affected if GET or PUT command capabilities are enabled in the datasource configuration
-
Review datasource query permission scopeExamine the access control settings for the Snowflake datasource. Check which users or teams have query access permissions to this datasource, typically found in Grafana's permission settings for the datasource.Affected if Query permissions are granted to untrusted users or broadly to many users (e.g., All Editors, All Viewers, or large user groups)
-
Verify filesystem access via query editorIf you have query access, attempt to test file transfer capabilities through the Snowflake query editor using GET or PUT statements to confirm the feature is functional and exploitable.Affected if GET/PUT commands execute successfully against the Grafana server filesystem
You are affected if the Grafana Snowflake datasource plugin version is between 1.14.7 and 1.14.12, GET/PUT file transfer commands are enabled, and untrusted users have datasource query access.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedRestrict datasource query permissions to trusted users only, and disable or heavily restrict GET/PUT command capabilities in the Snowflake datasource configuration unless explicitly required for legitimate use cases.
Grafana Snowflake datasource plugin version >= 1.14.13
- 1. Identify the Grafana instance running the Snowflake datasource plugin versions 1.14.7 through 1.14.12
- 2. Upgrade the Grafana Snowflake datasource plugin to version 1.14.13 or later
- 3. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the plugin version in Grafana under Configuration > Plugins
- 4. Test that Snowflake datasource queries still function correctly after the upgrade
- 5. Review user permissions on the Snowflake datasource to ensure only necessary users have query access
