CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedKibana is vulnerable due to incorrect authorization that allows authenticated users with Synthetics write privileges to delete private locations shared across multiple spaces, without proper access control checks. This can lead to the unintended disruption of availability monitoring for other spaces, as the deletion removes essential configurations relied upon by monitors in those areas. Organizations using Kibana for Synthetics monitoring should prioritize addressing this vulnerability to prevent potential service outages and ensure proper access controls are enforced.
Original NVD Description
Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863) in Kibana can lead to unauthorized deletion of Synthetics private locations via Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs (CAPEC-1). Synthetics private locations can be shared with more than one space, and deleting one removes it from every space it is shared with. The safeguard that prevented the deletion of a private location still in use evaluated only the monitors visible in the requesting user's own space, so monitors that depend on the private location in other spaces were not taken into account. As a result, an authenticated Kibana user holding the Synthetics write privilege in a single space could delete a private location that other spaces still depend on, even where the user has no access to those spaces. Deleting the private location removes the shared configuration and stops the monitors in the other spaces from running, which suppresses the availability monitoring those spaces rely on.
