DescriptionCVE.org

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Data Query Logic (CWE-943) in Kibana can lead to information disclosure via NoSQL Injection (CAPEC-676). An authenticated user with access to the affected query functionality could submit specially crafted input that alters the intended query logic, returning data the user is not authorized to read.

AnalysisAI

NoSQL injection in Kibana exposes unauthorized Elasticsearch data to authenticated low-privilege users who can submit crafted query input. The flaw, classified as CWE-943 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Data Query Logic / CAPEC-676), allows manipulation of backend NoSQL query logic to return records outside the user's authorized data scope. …
