Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs (CWE-184) in Kibana can allow an authenticated attacker with access to the Reporting feature to bypass outbound request restrictions configured by an administrator, causing the reporting service to send requests to network destinations that should be denied by the configured security policy.
AnalysisAI
Outbound request restriction bypass in Kibana's Reporting feature enables authenticated low-privileged attackers to cause the reporting service to issue HTTP requests to network destinations explicitly denied by administrator-configured security policy. Affected versions span Kibana 8.x through 8.19.18, 9.0.x through 9.3.7, and 9.4.x through 9.4.3. The scope-changed CVSS vector (S:C) confirms the impact extends beyond Kibana itself to internal network resources, making this a server-side request forgery (SSRF)-class issue. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing identified at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
Kibana's Reporting feature generates PDF and CSV exports by internally dispatching HTTP requests to configured data sources and rendering URLs. Administrators can configure outbound request restrictions - a blocklist or allowlist - to prevent the reporting service from reaching unauthorized internal or external network destinations. CWE-184 (Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs) identifies the root cause: the restriction logic fails to account for all input variations (e.g., URL encoding, alternate IP representations, redirects, or protocol variations) that can route requests past the filter. The NVD also maps this to CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization), reflecting the policy enforcement failure as a complementary classification. Affected CPE-identified products span the 8.x line (8.0.0-8.19.18) and the 9.x line (9.0.0-9.3.7 and 9.4.0-9.4.3), as confirmed by the EUVD advisory EUVD-2026-47578.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is to upgrade Kibana to a patched release: version 8.19.19 for 8.x deployments, 9.3.8 for 9.0.x-9.3.x deployments, or 9.4.4 for 9.4.x deployments. The Elastic advisory ESA-2026-66 at https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-8-19-19-9-3-8-9-4-4-security-update-esa-2026-66/388568 should be consulted for full upgrade instructions. As a compensating control prior to patching, administrators should restrict access to the Kibana Reporting feature to the minimum set of trusted users via Kibana role-based access control, reducing the pool of principals who can trigger the bypass. Additionally, deploying a network-layer egress filtering proxy or firewall rule enforcing the intended outbound destination policy independently of Kibana's application-layer blocklist provides defense in depth; this does not fix the vulnerability but prevents the Kibana process from reaching denied destinations even if the filter is bypassed. Note that disabling the Reporting feature entirely eliminates the attack surface but also removes legitimate functionality for all users.
