Description
Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key (CWE-639) in Kibana Machine Learning can lead to information disclosure via Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs (CAPEC-1). An authenticated user with Machine Learning read access in one Kibana space can read the audit and error messages of data frame analytics jobs that belong to other spaces that the user is not authorized to access. These messages can include job details such as destination index names, analyzed field names, and failure information.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability allows an authenticated user with Machine Learning read access in one Kibana space to read audit and error messages from data frame analytics jobs in other spaces that the user is not authorized to access. This information leakage can reveal destination index names, analyzed field names, and failure details, compromising confidentiality. The weakness is classified as CWE‑639, an authorization bypass through user‑controlled keys.

Affected Systems

Elastic Kibana is impacted. Users with Machine Learning read permissions in any Kibana space can inadvertently gain visibility into audit and error logs of jobs belonging to other spaces.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates a moderate impact. No EPSS value is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. The likely attack vector is an authorized user that already has Machine Learning read access; no external attacker or privilege escalation is required. Exploitation requires the attacker to have legitimate access to Kibana, read permissions for Machine Learning, and the ability to target other spaces within the same deployment. The resulting impact is limited to confidential data leakage rather than full system compromise.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Kibana to the latest patched versions (8.19.24, 9.4.9, or 9.5.6) that fix the authorization bypass.
  • Limit Machine Learning read permissions to only the spaces that a user must access, removing unnecessary cross‑space privileges.
  • Implement and monitor role‑based access controls to detect and prevent unauthorized cross‑space audit and error log access.
