DescriptionCVE.org

Improper input validation in the capabilities route handler in OpenSearch Dashboards - the size of the request payload is not bounded - might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted HTTP request.

AnalysisAI

Unbounded HTTP request payload processing in OpenSearch Dashboards' capabilities route handler allows unauthenticated remote attackers to exhaust server resources and cause a denial of service. Affected products span both self-hosted OpenSearch Dashboards (all versions per CPE) and Amazon OpenSearch Service. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Identify network-accessible OpenSearch Dashboards instance
Delivery
Craft oversized HTTP request targeting capabilities route
Exploit
Submit request without authentication
Execution
Server buffers unbounded payload
Persist
Memory or CPU exhaustion on Dashboards process
Impact
Service becomes unavailable to legitimate users

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation No authentication is required (CVSS PR:N) and no user interaction is needed (UI:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) scores 8.7, driven entirely by high availability impact and the absence of any barrier to exploitation: no authentication, no user interaction, low complexity, and no special attack requirements. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An unauthenticated attacker sends a single crafted HTTP request with an arbitrarily large body to the capabilities route handler endpoint on a network-accessible OpenSearch Dashboards instance. The server buffers and attempts to process the oversized payload, exhausting available memory or CPU on the Node.js process. …
Remediation Upgrade to the patched release of OpenSearch Dashboards available at https://opensearch.org/downloads/ per vendor advisory https://aws.amazon.com/security/security-bulletins/2026-082-aws/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Identify all OpenSearch Dashboards deployments across self-hosted and Amazon OpenSearch Service environments and determine network accessibility from untrusted networks; cross-reference your current versions against the vendor advisory to confirm exposure status. …
