Elastic Kibana: improper authorization

Medium5.4CVE-2026-78598 · Published Sep 2, 2026 · updated Sep 3, 2026

Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863) in the Kibana machine learning feature can lead to information disclosure via Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels (CAPEC-180). An authenticated user holding machine learning job management privileges within a single Kibana space could cause a job's saved object to become accessible across all spaces in the Kibana instance, without holding access rights to those additional spaces.
