The Grafana Image Renderer has been revamped in its v5.0 release, focusing on improved performance, reliability, and security. Key updates include better heuristics for rendering accuracy and a strengthened security sandbox for Grafana Cloud users. Users running the service on premises will need to migrate to the new deployment method.

Grafana 12.3 introduces new features for interactive learning, enhanced logs visualization, and improved data exploration. Key updates include a redesigned logs panel, new context features, and the ability to export dashboards as images. A critical security fix is also included.

Grafana fixed a major security vulnerability (CVE-2025-41115) in its SCIM component that could enable user impersonation or privilege escalation. The flaw affects versions 12.0.0 to 12.2.1 with specific configurations enabled. Users should update to the latest versions to protect against this risk.

Grafana Labs has released critical security updates for the Grafana Image Renderer plugin and Synthetic Monitoring Agent to address four significant vulnerabilities in Chromium that could lead to remote code execution and memory corruption. Users are urged to update to the latest versions promptly to mitigate potential risks. Grafana Cloud instances have already been patched, alleviating the need for action from users of the managed service.
