Incorrect Authorization in Kibana Leading to Unauthorized Disabling of Privilege Monitoring

Published Sep 1, 2026 · Updated Sep 1, 2026 · Assigned by elastic

Description

Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863) in Kibana Entity Analytics can lead to a loss of security monitoring via Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs (CAPEC-1). An authenticated user holding only read-level Security feature access, and no Elasticsearch privileges, could stop the recurring Privilege Monitoring engine task for a Kibana space. Privileged user monitoring then stops producing data for that space while the engine continues to report a healthy state to operators.
