Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid Kibana account with at minimum low-level privileges (PR:L in the CVSS vector) - fully unauthenticated exploitation is not possible. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L yields a Medium score of 4.3, accurately reflecting that exploitation requires valid low-privileged credentials and produces only a low-magnitude availability impact. … 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 Kibana to version 8.19.21 (for 8.x deployments) or 9.4.6 / 9.5.3 (for 9.x deployments) per Elastic advisory ESA-2026-174, available at https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-8-19-21-9-4-6-9-5-3-security-update-esa-2026-174/390162. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
