The snapshot feature in Grafana 6.7.3 through 7.4.1 can allow an unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger a Denial of Service via a remote API call if a commonly used configuration is set.
CVE-2021-27358
Score elevated to 8.9 because EPSS predicts 83% probability of exploitation within the next 30 days (99th percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs). NVD baseline CVSS 7.5 retained for reference. Confidence: see factors.

Exploitation public PoC (EG-KEV: elevated) · Automatable unknown (not published for this CVE) · Technical impact partial (CVSS below 9.0). Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it: high means the affected system is essential to your organisation's mission, or its compromise could cause irreversible harm to people.
