AI-Generated

A vulnerability in Kibana Agent Builder allows non-administrative users to exploit shared agents, potentially executing privileged operations under the identity of higher-privileged users. This could lead to privilege escalation, granting unauthorized users full administrative control over Kibana and the associated Elasticsearch cluster. Organizations using Kibana should prioritize addressing this issue to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and control.

Original NVD Description

Unintended Proxy or Intermediary ('Confused Deputy') (CWE-441) in Kibana Agent Builder can lead to privilege escalation. A non-administrative user able to edit a shared agent could cause privileged operations to be carried out under the identity of a higher-privileged user who subsequently interacts with that agent. Where the same user can also author workflows, this can extend to full administrative control of Kibana and of the Elasticsearch cluster.
