CVE-2024-1442 has a CVSS score of 6/10, rated MEDIUM. Review your exposure and patch according to your risk tolerance.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2024-1442?

CVE-2024-1442 affects the following packages: github.com/grafana/grafana (Go), github.com/grafana/grafana (Go), github.com/grafana/grafana (Go), github.com/grafana/grafana (Go), github.com/grafana/grafana (Go). Ecosystems affected: Go.

How do I fix CVE-2024-1442?

Update github.com/grafana/grafana to 9.5.7 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-1442 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2024-1442 in my Go dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/grafana/grafana, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2024-1442 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Close the privilege gap rather than the entry point: audit which accounts, roles and service identities can reach the affected operation, drop the component to the least privilege it actually needs, and review file and directory permissions created by earlier installs — a default left in place is what makes this reachable.

Is CVE-2024-1442 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2024-1442 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2024-1442?
