Exploitation Conditions

Requires an authenticated Kibana account that already holds read access to connectors in at least one space, and a multi-space Kibana deployment where connector execution logs exist in other spaces. Exploitation is limited to disclosure of connector execution log metadata - connector names and identifiers, execution status, timestamps, error messages, and aggregated execution statistics - with no integrity or availability impact. Limiting factors: a valid low-privilege account is mandatory (PR:L, no anonymous access), the flaw only matters where separate spaces are used for access segregation, and only metadata (not connector secrets or primary data) is exposed. The exact API endpoint or parameter serving as the user-controlled key is not described in the available sources.

Impact

This is a genuine but low-urgency issue rather than a high-severity emergency. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.3 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, meaning network-reachable but requiring an authenticated account (PR:L) and yielding only limited confidentiality impact (C:L) with no integrity or availability effect. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month', consistent with a moderate-priority patch cadence rather than act_now/emergency. There is no CISA KEV listing and no EPSS score supplied in the input, so widespread or automated exploitation is not indicated; combined with 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis', the real-world threat is cross-space metadata leakage by an already-authenticated low-privilege user, not an externally weaponizable flaw. The signals are internally consistent: the authorization-bypass (CWE-639) mechanism, the PR:L authenticated prerequisite, and the C:L/I:N/A:N impact all align with a contained information-disclosure defect. EPSS and KEV data are absent from the input, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified beyond the qualitative signals above.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated Kibana user who holds read access to connectors within their own space issues API requests for connector execution log data scoped to other Kibana spaces they should not be able to see. Because access is keyed on a user-controllable identifier without enforcing space-level ACLs, Kibana returns connector names, IDs, execution statuses, timestamps, error messages, and aggregated statistics from those other spaces. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and exploitation requires a valid low-privilege account (PR:L) over the network (AV:N) with low complexity.

AnalysisAIv1 – Nov 03, 2026

Information disclosure in Elastic Kibana lets an authenticated user who holds read access to connectors in one Kibana space retrieve connector execution log records from other spaces they are not authorized to view. The exposed data is metadata only: connector names and identifiers, execution status, timestamps, error messages and aggregated execution statistics, with no integrity or availability impact (CVSS 4.3, CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N). Exploitation requires a valid low-privilege account and a deployment that uses multiple spaces for access segregation; no public exploit or PoC has been identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not in CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Kibana 8.19.24, 9.4.9 and 9.5.6, published in Elastic security advisory ESA-2026-206 at https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-8-19-24-9-4-9-9-5-6-security-update-esa-2026-206/391360; upgrade to the release matching your deployed branch. No workaround or configuration-level fix is documented in the available sources, so the update is the complete remediation. Because exploitation requires a valid account that already holds connector read access in at least one space, exposure before patching is confined to multi-space deployments where connector logs exist in spaces a user cannot access, and environments that do not use spaces for segregation are not affected in that way; the priority label for this issue is 'this_month' rather than an emergency, consistent with the low confidentiality-only impact.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Kibana organizes dashboards, saved objects and connectors into 'spaces', which act as logical tenant partitions enforced by role-based access control. Connectors are the integrations Kibana uses to reach external services, and each connector keeps an execution log recording run status, timestamps, error text and aggregate statistics. The flaw is CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key), mapped to CAPEC-1: a request supplies a key identifying a connector or its log records, and the server returns matching records without confirming that the caller holds privileges in the space that owns them, so object-level authorization is skipped rather than the space boundary being enforced on the read path. The CVSS vector confirms network reachability (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), low privileges required (PR:L) and no user interaction (UI:N), scoped unchanged with low confidentiality impact only. The specific API endpoint or request parameter that serves as the user-controlled key is not described in the available sources, so it is unverified which call must be manipulated; what is confirmed is the outcome of cross-space disclosure of connector execution log metadata, and what is unverified is whether any connector configuration, credentials or payload data is reachable through the same path.

DescriptionCVE.org

Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key (CWE-639) in Kibana can lead to information disclosure via Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs (CAPEC-1). An authenticated user with read access to connectors in one Kibana space can retrieve connector execution log information from other spaces that they are not authorized to access. The disclosed information includes connector names and identifiers, execution status, timestamps, error messages, and aggregated execution statistics.
