CVE-2026-115292: Elastic Kibana authorization bypass in Machine Learning

CVE-2026-115292 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-11-03

Kibana is a data analytics and visualization platform used to explore and monitor data in Elasticsearch. An authenticated user with read access to Machine Learning features in one workspace can bypass access controls to view audit and error messages from data frame analytics jobs in other workspaces they shouldn't have access to, potentially exposing sensitive job details, field names, and error information.

Technologies: Elastic Kibana. Vendors: Elastic.

Technical details

An authorization bypass vulnerability (CWE-639) in Kibana Machine Learning allows authenticated users to read audit and error messages from data frame analytics jobs across workspace boundaries. The vulnerability affects multi-space deployments where a user holds Machine Learning read access in at least one space; the attacker leverages user-controlled keys to access restricted functionality. The flaw exposes job metadata including destination index names, analyzed field names, and failure details without proper ACL enforcement.

Affected products

  • Elastic Kibana 8.0.0–8.19.23, 9.0.0–9.4.8, 9.5.0–9.5.5
