CVE-2026-115295 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-11-03

Kibana, an analytics and visualization platform used to explore and manage data, contains an authorization flaw that allows authenticated users to view connector execution logs from spaces they should not have access to. An attacker with legitimate read access to connectors in one workspace can discover connector names, identifiers, error messages, and execution details from other restricted workspaces, potentially exposing sensitive operational information.

## Technical details

An authorization bypass vulnerability (CWE-639) in Kibana's connector execution log retrieval allows an authenticated user with read-only connector access in one space to access logs from other spaces via user-controlled key manipulation. The vulnerability affects multi-space deployments and requires authentication and pre-existing connector access. No privilege escalation or data modification is possible; the impact is limited to information disclosure of connector metadata and execution details.

## Affected products

- Elastic Kibana 8.7.0 to 8.19.23; 9.0.0 to 9.4.8; 9.5.0 to 9.5.5
