Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CWE-770) in Kibana can lead to a denial of service via Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130). A user-supplied list of document fields accepted by the Kibana Playground for RAG feature was neither bounded in length nor de-duplicated before it was used to assemble the response for each matching document. A single crafted request could therefore make Kibana build a response far larger than the data it was derived from, and the resulting processing and memory pressure exhausts the resources of the Kibana instance.

Missing Authorization (CWE-862) in Kibana can lead to cross-space information disclosure and unauthorized data modification via Privilege Abuse (CAPEC-122). Kibana Machine Learning carries out its Elasticsearch operations with elevated internal permissions and relies on a per-request space filter to keep the machine learning data of one space separated from another. Part of the Machine Learning functionality did not apply that filter, so operations issued from one space were carried out against the machine learning data of every space in the deployment.

Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') (CWE-94) in Fleet Server can lead to the execution of attacker-supplied script content via Code Injection (CAPEC-242). Kibana accepted an identifier for an output configuration without restricting it to safe characters. That identifier is later placed into a server-side script that Fleet Server builds as part of routine agent policy processing, so script syntax embedded in the identifier became part of the script that was executed rather than being treated as data.

Relative Path Traversal (CWE-23) in Kibana can lead to the unauthorized deletion of Kibana resources via Relative Path Traversal (CAPEC-139). Kibana Fleet accepted a user-supplied identifier for a Fleet Server host configuration without rejecting relative traversal sequences. The identifier is stored as provided and is later incorporated into the request that Kibana issues when that configuration is removed.

Kibana Agent Builder A2A JSON-RPC API endpoint derives the identifier of a stored conversation from a user-supplied input, and the ownership check on that identifier does not distinguish between a conversation that does not exist and one that exists but belongs to another user. As a result, an authenticated user holding only the Agent Builder read privilege can supply an identifier already in use by another user in the same space and cause that user's conversation to be replaced and reassigned to the requesting account. The original owner permanently loses access to the conversation and its history. The impact is limited to loss of integrity and availability of the affected conversation; the attacker does not read the overwritten content.

Kibana Agent Builder does not correctly verify that the requesting user holds the privileges required by a separate Kibana feature before it creates and runs a tool that invokes that feature's functionality. This allows privilege escalation and could lead to disclosure of sensitive information that the user is not authorized to read.

Missing Authorization (CWE-862) in Kibana can lead to unauthorized execution of Osquery and Elastic Defend response actions on managed hosts via Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs (CAPEC-1). A Kibana user who is able to author and evaluate Elastic Security detection rules can cause response actions to be carried out against enrolled agents without holding the Osquery live query privileges or the Elastic Defend response action privileges that normally govern those capabilities. Depending on the response action involved, this can result in disclosure of information from the affected hosts or in unauthorized changes to their state.

Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key (CWE-639) in Kibana can lead to unauthorized query execution against Elastic Agents that are assigned to a Kibana space the requesting user has no access to, via Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs (CAPEC-1). A user who is authorized to run Osquery live queries in one space can have a query carried out on hosts belonging to another space, resulting in disclosure of information from those hosts to the Osquery results data stream.

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CWE-770) in Kibana can lead to a denial of service via Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130). A specially crafted request submitted by an authenticated user with minimal privileges to a validation capability of the Observability log analysis feature causes Kibana to perform an unbounded amount of concurrent work. This can exhaust the memory available to the Kibana process and make Kibana unavailable to all users until it is restarted. The severity of the outcome depends on the resources allocated to the deployment; on well-provisioned deployments a single request may cause degraded performance and elevated memory pressure rather than a full outage, but the request is inexpensive to repeat.

The state that Kibana stores for an Observability Onboarding flow is not bound to the user who created the flow, and the routes that read and update that state do not verify ownership. An authenticated user who holds only generic read access to the space can therefore discover the onboarding flows of other users, read their onboarding state, and write arbitrary progress data into them. A tampered flow can also cause the owner's onboarding view to fail with a server error.
