CVE-2026-56147 Details
Description
Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key (CWE-639) in Kibana can lead to unauthorized information disclosure and case attachment integrity compromise via Privilege Abuse (CAPEC-122). An inconsistency in Kibana's file access authorization logic allows a low-privileged authenticated user to retrieve, modify, and delete case attachments that belong to feature areas they are not authorized to access. Because the access control check and the resource retrieval use different resolution mechanisms, an authenticated attacker with limited file management permissions can obtain the contents of, modify, or delete protected case attachments — such as those associated with Security Solution cases — without holding the privileges required to access those features.
A vulnerability in Elastic Kibana versions 8.7.0 prior to 8.19.17 and 9.0.0 prior to 9.3.6 and 9.4.0 prior to 9.4.3 allows low-privileged authenticated users to bypass authorization controls and access case attachments in unauthorized feature areas. This is due to a mismatch in the file access authorization logic, enabling users with limited file management permissions to retrieve, modify, or delete protected case attachments, such as those related to Security Solution cases, without the necessary privileges.
Users can upgrade to Kibana versions 8.19.18, 9.3.7, or 9.4.3 to address this vulnerability. For users unable to upgrade, no workarounds are available.
