CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedKibana Fleet is vulnerable to improper privilege management, enabling potential privilege escalation through its integration policy feature. This flaw allows unauthorized data streams to be added to the Elasticsearch API key for enrolled Elastic Agents, which could lead to unauthorized document insertion and index mapping modifications. Organizations using Kibana Fleet should prioritize addressing this vulnerability to prevent exploitation and ensure proper access controls.
Original NVD Description
Improper Privilege Management (CWE-269) in Kibana Fleet can lead to privilege escalation via Privilege Escalation (CAPEC-233). An integration policy may optionally declare extra data streams that the integration writes to, which Fleet adds to the Elasticsearch API key issued to Elastic Agents enrolled in the corresponding agent policy. The resulting key allows new documents to be inserted and index mappings to be extended for specific indices. The key does not allow reading, updating, or deleting existing documents
