Details

Improper Authorization (CWE-285) in Kibana can lead to privilege escalation (CAPEC-233) by allowing an authenticated user to change a document's sharing type to "global," even though they do not have permission to do so, making it visible to everyone in the space via a crafted a HTTP request.

Severity ?

4.3 (Medium)
