A missing authorization vulnerability in Kibana allows users who can author and evaluate Elastic Security detection rules to execute Osquery and Elastic Defend response actions on managed hosts without proper privileges. This flaw enables unauthorized execution of response actions that could disclose information or alter the state of affected hosts. The issue affects Kibana versions from 8.5.0 up to but not including 8.19.20, and from 9.0.0 up to but not including 9.4.5. A patch is available to address this vulnerability.

Missing Authorization (CWE-862) in Kibana can lead to unauthorized execution of Osquery and Elastic Defend response actions on managed hosts via Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs (CAPEC-1). A Kibana user who is able to author and evaluate Elastic Security detection rules can cause response actions to be carried out against enrolled agents without holding the Osquery live query privileges or the Elastic Defend response action privileges that normally govern those capabilities. Depending on the response action involved, this can result in disclosure of information from the affected hosts or in unauthorized changes to their state.
