Elastic Kibana: missing authorization
Medium4.3CVE-2026-72671 · Published Aug 13, 2026 · updated Sep 4, 2026
A Kibana Machine Learning capability that removes a saved object from the current space accepts machine learning trained models as a target, but it verifies only the privileges that apply to anomaly detection jobs and data frame analytics jobs. A user whose role grants create anomaly detection jobs and data frame analytics jobs without the trained model privilege can therefore remove a trained model from a space. The model itself is not deleted and remains available in its other spaces, and the change can be reversed by a suitably privileged user.
