CVE-2026-42399 Details
Description
Uncontrolled Resource Consumption (CWE-400) in Kibana can lead to denial of service via Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130). An authenticated low-privileged user can cause Kibana to consume exponentially increasing amounts of memory by submitting a specially crafted Timelion visualization expression containing deeply chained function calls. The resulting data structure grows without bound, exhausting available memory and causing the Kibana service to crash and become unavailable to all users.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in Kibana versions 8.0.0 prior to 8.19.15 and 9.0.0 prior to 9.3.4. This vulnerability allows an authenticated low-privileged user to cause excessive memory consumption by submitting a specially crafted Timelion visualization expression with deeply chained function calls. The uncontrolled resource consumption can lead to a service crash, making Kibana unavailable to all users.
Users can upgrade to Kibana versions 8.19.16 or 9.3.5 to address this vulnerability.
