improper authorization vulnerability:

  - An Editor can set file-provisioning metadata (the grafana.app/managedBy, grafana.app/managerId and
    grafana.app/sourcePath annotations) when creating a dashboard through the dashboard API, because these
    fields were stored without an authorization check. The dashboard then appears file-provisioned, and
    administrators can no longer update or delete it through Grafana. The impact is limited to the same
    organization and no data is exposed. (CVE-2026-13720)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
