Improperly Controlled Modification of Dynamically-Determined Object Attributes (CWE-915) in the case management functionality of Elastic Security in Kibana can lead to unauthorized modification of case data by an authenticated user who has not been granted case editing privileges, via Manipulating User-Controlled Variables (CAPEC-77). Object attributes accepted by the case management API were not subject to the same authorization enforcement applied in the user interface, so a low-privileged user could alter case records they were only entitled to view.
AnalysisAI
Elastic Security's case management API in Kibana fails to enforce the same authorization controls applied in the UI, allowing authenticated low-privileged users to modify case records they are only entitled to view. The vulnerability arises from a mass-assignment flaw (CWE-915/CAPEC-77) where the API accepts object attributes that bypass privilege checks enforced at the UI layer - a classic server-side trust boundary mismatch. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated Kibana user account with at least view-level permissions on the Elastic Security case management feature - the account must have read access to cases but lack explicit case-editing privileges. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 score of 4.3 Medium (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) accurately characterizes the limited blast radius: exploitation requires a valid authenticated session (PR:L), yields only low integrity impact on case records (I:L), and has no confidentiality or availability dimension. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is to upgrade Kibana to the patched versions identified in vendor advisory ESA-2026-110, available at https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-8-19-20-9-4-5-security-update-esa-2026-110/389523. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
