Kibana is vulnerable to an authorization bypass that allows users to execute unauthorized queries against Elastic Agents in spaces they do not have access to. This flaw can lead to the unintended disclosure of sensitive information from hosts in restricted spaces, as users can leverage their permissions to access data they should not be able to see. Organizations using Kibana should prioritize addressing this vulnerability to mitigate potential data exposure risks.

Original NVD Description

Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key (CWE-639) in Kibana can lead to unauthorized query execution against Elastic Agents that are assigned to a Kibana space the requesting user has no access to, via Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs (CAPEC-1). A user who is authorized to run Osquery live queries in one space can have a query carried out on hosts belonging to another space, resulting in disclosure of information from those hosts to the Osquery results data stream.
