2DescriptionCVE.org
Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CWE-770) in Filebeat can lead to a denial of service via Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130). An attacker able to reach the Filebeat HTTP ingestion endpoint could send specially crafted compressed requests that exhaust the memory resources of the Filebeat process.
AnalysisAI
Memory exhaustion denial of service in Filebeat's HTTP ingestion endpoint allows an authenticated low-privileged attacker to crash the Filebeat process by sending specially crafted compressed payloads that trigger unbounded decompression (a decompression-bomb / zip-bomb pattern). Affected versions span the 8.x and 9.x branches, with patched releases 8.19.18 and 9.3.1 published under Elastic Security Advisory ESA-2026-165. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the Filebeat HTTP ingestion endpoint (http_endpoint input plugin) is enabled in the Filebeat configuration - this is a non-default, operator-configured feature. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) accurately reflects the threat profile: network-reachable, low complexity, but requiring low-level privileges (PR:L), with purely availability impact and no confidentiality or integrity consequence. … 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 | Upgrade Filebeat to version 8.19.18 (8.x branch) or 9.3.1 (9.x branch), as published in Elastic Security Advisory ESA-2026-165 at https://discuss.elastic.co/t/filebeat-8-19-18-9-3-1-security-update-esa-2026-165/390118. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
