An allocation of resources without limits or throttling in Kibana can lead to a crash caused by a specially crafted request to /api/log_entries/summary. This can be carried out by users with read access to the Observability-Logs feature in Kibana.
A flaw allowing arbitrary code execution was discovered in Kibana. An attacker with access to ML and Alerting connector features, as well as write access to internal ML indices can trigger a prototype pollution vulnerability, ultimately leading to arbitrary code execution.
An issue was discovered in Kibana where a user with Viewer role could cause a Kibana instance to crash by sending a large number of maliciously crafted requests to a specific endpoint.
A high-privileged user, allowed to create custom osquery packs 17 could affect the availability of Kibana by uploading a maliciously crafted osquery pack.
An open redirect issue was discovered in Kibana that could lead to a user being redirected to an arbitrary website if they use a maliciously crafted Kibana URL.
Kibana contains an embedded version of the Chromium browser that the Reporting feature uses to generate the downloadable reports. If a user with permissions to generate reports is able to render arbitrary HTML with this browser, they may be able to leverage known Chromium vulnerabilities to conduct further attacks. Kibana contains a number of protections to prevent this browser from rendering arbitrary content.
It was discovered that a user with Fleet admin permissions could upload a malicious package. Due to using an older version of the js-yaml library, this package would be loaded in an insecure manner, allowing an attacker to execute commands on the Kibana server.
It was discovered that Kibana was not validating a user supplied path, which would load .pbf files. Because of this, a malicious user could arbitrarily traverse the Kibana host to load internal files ending in the .pbf extension.
An open redirect issue was discovered in Kibana that could lead to a user being redirected to an arbitrary website if they use a maliciously crafted Kibana URL.
A flaw (CVE-2022-38900) was discovered in one of Kibana’s third party dependencies, that could allow an authenticated user to perform a request that crashes the Kibana server process.
