CVE-2026-63141 is a medium severity vulnerability in Elastic Kibana versions 9.3.0 and 9.4.0 where missing authorization allows an authenticated user to access and modify Cloud Connect configuration and service settings without proper privileges. This occurs due to insufficient protection on certain product endpoints. The vulnerability requires low attack complexity and no user interaction but does require authenticated access with some privileges.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CWE-862) in Elastic Kibana affects versions 9.3.0 and 9.4.0. It allows an authenticated user with limited privileges to bypass authorization controls and directly access and modify Cloud Connect configuration and service settings via insufficiently protected endpoints. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.3, reflecting a network attack vector with low complexity, requiring privileges but no user interaction, and impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability at a low level.
Potential Impact
An authenticated user with some privileges can access and modify sensitive Cloud Connect configurations and service settings without having the required feature privileges. This could lead to unauthorized changes affecting the service's operation and potentially exposing or altering sensitive data. The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is rated as low but still significant enough to warrant attention.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation level has been published by Elastic as of the provided data. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict authenticated user privileges to the minimum necessary and monitor for unusual configuration changes. Avoid exposing Kibana endpoints to untrusted users.
