DescriptionCVE.org

Improper input validation in the dashboards-observability plugin in OpenSearch Dashboards allows a remote authenticated user with write permissions to OpenSearch Dashboards saved objects to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of other users' browser sessions by uploading a saved asset with arbitrary web content.

AnalysisAI

Stored cross-site scripting in the OpenSearch Dashboards dashboards-observability plugin allows a remote authenticated user with write permissions to saved objects to inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes in other users' browser sessions. Affected deployments include both self-hosted OpenSearch Dashboards and Amazon OpenSearch Service (managed). …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Obtain low-privilege OpenSearch account with saved-object write access
Delivery
Craft saved observability asset embedding XSS payload
Exploit
Upload malicious asset via dashboards-observability plugin
Execution
Induce higher-privilege victim to view asset
Persist
Malicious JavaScript executes in victim's browser session
Impact
Exfiltrate session tokens or perform unauthorized dashboard actions as victim

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an attacker to hold a valid OpenSearch Dashboards account with write permissions to saved objects - unauthenticated users cannot trigger this vulnerability, and accounts without saved-object write access are not sufficient. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N scoring 8.7 (High) is well-calibrated. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with a low-privilege OpenSearch Dashboards account - obtained through credential compromise or insider access - crafts a saved observability asset containing a malicious JavaScript payload and uploads it via the dashboards-observability plugin's saved asset functionality. When an administrator or higher-privilege user subsequently opens that saved asset in their browser, the script executes under the victim's session context, exfiltrating session tokens or API keys to an attacker-controlled endpoint and enabling impersonation of the victim within OpenSearch Dashboards. …
Remediation Upgrade OpenSearch Dashboards to version 3.4.0 (for 3.x deployments) or 2.19.0 (for 2.x deployments), both confirmed as fixed releases available at https://opensearch.org/artifacts/by-version/#release-3-4-0 and https://opensearch.org/artifacts/by-version/#release-2-19-0 respectively. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all OpenSearch Dashboards deployments and identify instances running affected plugin versions prior to 2.19.0 or 3.4.0, paying particular attention to multi-tenant or shared environments. …
