CVE-2026-63260 Details
Description
Uncontrolled Resource Consumption (CWE-400) in Kibana can lead to denial of service via Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130). An authenticated attacker with low-privilege access can trigger a denial of service condition in Kibana by sending a specially crafted, oversized request payload. Processing this user-supplied input requires resource-intensive memory allocation that can exhaust the available heap memory in the Kibana process, causing it to crash and become unavailable to all users.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in Elastic Kibana versions 8.0.0 prior to 8.19.18, as well as in 9.0.0 prior to 9.3.7 and 9.4.0 prior to 9.4.3. This vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker with low-privilege access to cause a denial-of-service condition by sending oversized request payloads. The processing of these payloads requires significant memory allocation, which can deplete the available heap memory in the Kibana process. As a result, Kibana may crash and become unavailable to all users.
Users are advised to upgrade to Kibana versions 8.19.19, 9.3.8, or 9.4.4. For those unable to upgrade, no workarounds are available.
