DescriptionCVE.org

Missing Authorization (CWE-862) in Kibana can lead to unauthorized cross-space information disclosure via user-supplied input that circumvents space-level access control.

AnalysisAI

Cross-space information disclosure in Kibana 9.4.0 through 9.4.3 allows authenticated users to access data from Kibana Spaces they are not authorized to view. The flaw (CWE-862, Missing Authorization) arises because user-supplied input can reference cross-space resources without adequate space-level authorization checks, enabling privilege boundary bypass within a multi-tenant Kibana deployment. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and this vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Technical ContextAI

Kibana Spaces is an Elastic feature providing logical multi-tenancy within a single Kibana instance, isolating saved objects such as dashboards, index patterns, and visualizations between organizational units or teams. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) indicates the application fails to verify whether the authenticated user holds the required space-level permissions before fulfilling a request involving cross-space resource references. Because user-supplied input (e.g., a space identifier, object reference, or query parameter) is processed without adequate authorization enforcement, an attacker can craft requests that reference resources belonging to spaces outside their permitted scope. The CVSS vector (AV:N/PR:L) confirms the vulnerability is exploitable remotely by any authenticated Kibana user with even a low-privileged account on the affected instance.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to Kibana 9.4.4, which addresses this vulnerability per Elastic Security Advisory ESA-2026-73 at https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-9-4-4-security-update-esa-2026-73/388576. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, restrict Kibana access to trusted internal users only and enforce network-level controls to prevent external or low-trust users from reaching the Kibana interface, noting that this does not eliminate the flaw for users who retain legitimate access. Space administrators should audit Space permissions and minimize the number of users with access to sensitive spaces, as tighter access control reduces the blast radius of cross-space data exposure. There are no confirmed vendor-documented workarounds beyond patching.
