CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedKibana is vulnerable to denial of service due to improper input validation, allowing low-privileged authenticated users to exploit this flaw by submitting specially crafted data. This manipulation can lead to uncaught exceptions that crash the Kibana process, rendering the service unavailable until it is restarted. Organizations using Kibana should prioritize addressing this vulnerability to prevent potential disruptions in service availability.
Original NVD Description
Uncaught Exception (CWE-248), resulting from Improper Input Validation (CWE-20), in Kibana can lead to denial of service via Input Data Manipulation (CAPEC-153). An authenticated user holding only low-privileged access can cause an internal error condition in Kibana by supplying specially crafted data. The resulting error is raised on an execution path so it propagates as an uncaught exception and terminates the Kibana process. Kibana is unavailable to all users until the service is restarted, and the condition can be triggered repeatedly.
