CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedKibana is vulnerable due to a missing authorization mechanism that allows low-privileged users to access sensitive endpoint response action records without the necessary permissions. This flaw can lead to unauthorized information disclosure, as users can retrieve data with elevated internal permissions instead of their own. Organizations using Kibana, particularly those with sensitive endpoint data, should prioritize addressing this vulnerability to mitigate potential data exposure risks.
Original NVD Description
Missing Authorization (CWE-862) in Kibana can lead to information disclosure via Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs (CAPEC-1). An internal Kibana data retrieval capability used by Elastic Defend endpoint response actions did not enforce the Security Solution and endpoint privileges that its user-facing equivalents require, and it retrieved data with elevated internal permissions rather than the permissions of the requesting user. As a result, an authenticated low-privileged Kibana user with no Security Solution privileges, endpoint privileges and no Elasticsearch privileges on the underlying data, could read endpoint response action records and the corresponding response content returned by managed hosts.
