Elastic Kibana: denial of service

Medium6.5CVE-2026-72682 · Published Sep 1, 2026 · updated Sep 2, 2026

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CWE-770) in Kibana can lead to a denial of service via Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130). An authenticated user holding only low, read-level Agent Builder privileges could submit a specially crafted request that causes Kibana to consume an unbounded amount of memory, terminating the process and denying service to all users of the instance.
