Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

inspect dependencies for github.com/grafana/grafana

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2026-9029, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/grafana/grafana:

inspect dependencies for github.com/grafana/grafana

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/grafana/grafana in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.9.2-0.20260616075434-82ef13993059), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting'), where the product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users. In Github.com/grafana/grafana, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

The geomap panel's XYZ tile layer has a sanitize-then-interpolate ordering bug. sanitizeTextPanelContent() runs on the raw template string before getTemplateSrv().replace() substitutes the variable value, which uses the glob format with no HTML escaping. The result is passed to OpenLayers via element.innerHTML. An Editor can set a textbox variable's default value to an XSS payload that executes for every user who opens the dashboard. This is a bypass of the CVE-2023-0507 fix
