CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

Kibana's Observability Onboarding flow is vulnerable due to inadequate user ownership verification, allowing authenticated users with generic read access to access and manipulate the onboarding states of other users. This could lead to unauthorized data exposure and potential disruption of onboarding processes, resulting in server errors for the affected users. Organizations utilizing Kibana for observability should prioritize addressing this vulnerability to protect user data and maintain system integrity.

Original NVD Description

The state that Kibana stores for an Observability Onboarding flow is not bound to the user who created the flow, and the routes that read and update that state do not verify ownership. An authenticated user who holds only generic read access to the space can therefore discover the onboarding flows of other users, read their onboarding state, and write arbitrary progress data into them. A tampered flow can also cause the owner's onboarding view to fail with a server error.
