Missing Authorization (CWE-862) in Kibana’s server-side Detection Rule Management can lead to Unauthorized Endpoint Response Action Configuration (host isolation, process termination, and process suspension) via CAPEC-1 (Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs). This requires an authenticated attacker with rule management privileges.
Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input (CWE-1284) in the Timelion visualization plugin in Kibana can lead Denial of Service via Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130). The vulnerability allows an authenticated user to send a specially crafted Timelion expression that overwrites internal series data properties with an excessively large quantity value.
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements Used in a Template Engine (CWE-1336) exists in Workflows in Kibana which could allow an attacker to read arbitrary files from the Kibana server filesystem, and perform Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) via Code Injection (CAPEC-242). This requires an authenticated user who has the workflowsManagement:executeWorkflow privilege.
Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input (CWE-1284) in Kibana can allow an authenticated attacker with view-only privileges to cause a Denial of Service via Input Data Manipulation (CAPEC-153). An attacker can send a specially crafted, malformed payload causing excessive resource consumption and resulting in Kibana becoming unresponsive or crashing.
Improper Input Validation (CWE-20) in the internal Content Connectors search endpoint in Kibana can lead Denial of Service via Input Data Manipulation (CAPEC-153)
Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity (CWE-1333) in the AI Inference Anonymization Engine in Kibana can lead Denial of Service via Regular Expression Exponential Blowup (CAPEC-492).
Improper Input Validation (CWE-20) in Kibana's Email Connector can allow an attacker to cause an Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130) through a specially crafted email address parameter. This requires an attacker to have authenticated access with view-level privileges sufficient to execute connector actions. The application attempts to process specially crafted email format, resulting in complete service unavailability for all users until manual restart is performed.
Improper Validation of Array Index (CWE-129) exists in Metricbeat can allow an attacker to cause a Denial of Service through Input Data Manipulation (CAPEC-153) via specially crafted, malformed payloads sent to the Graphite server metricset or Zookeeper server metricset. Additionally, Improper Input Validation (CWE-20) exists in the Prometheus helper module that can allow an attacker to cause a Denial of Service through Input Data Manipulation (CAPEC-153) via specially crafted, malformed metric data.
Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CWE-770) in Kibana Fleet can lead to Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130) via a specially crafted request. This causes the application to perform redundant processing operations that continuously consume system resources until service degradation or complete unavailability occurs.
