Missing Authorization in Kibana Leading to Unauthorized Modification of Data / Missing Authorization (CWE-862) in Kibana can lead to unauthorized modification of data via Privilege Abuse (CAPEC-122). An authenticated user holding Security read-level access in a single Kibana space could trigger Entity Analytics migration operations that perform privileged writes across all Kibana spaces, regardless of that user's actual access scope.
AnalysisAI
Privilege abuse in Kibana allows an authenticated user holding Security read-level access in a single Kibana space to trigger Entity Analytics migration operations that perform write actions across all Kibana spaces, violating the platform's space-isolation access control model. The vulnerability stems from CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the migration API endpoint executes privileged writes without verifying whether the caller's authorization scope covers the target spaces. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid, authenticated Kibana session with at minimum Security read-level access in one Kibana space - unauthenticated external access is not sufficient. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor-assigned CVSS 4.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) accurately captures the low-complexity, network-reachable nature of exploitation and the limited integrity-only impact, though S:U may underrepresent the cross-space boundary violation - an independent assessment of S:C is defensible since the unauthorized writes escape the user's authorized space and affect the full Kibana deployment. … 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 | Patch available per vendor advisory ESA-2026-154 at https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-8-19-21-9-4-6-9-5-3-security-update-esa-2026-154/390161; consult the advisory directly for exact patched version numbers, as the precise fixed releases are not enumerated in the available input data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
