Elastic Kibana: privilege escalation
Medium6.5CVE-2026-72681 · Published Aug 13, 2026 · updated Sep 3, 2026
Kibana Agent Builder does not correctly verify that the requesting user holds the privileges required by a separate Kibana feature before it creates and runs a tool that invokes that feature's functionality. This allows privilege escalation and could lead to disclosure of sensitive information that the user is not authorized to read.
