NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kibana-8.18 package and not the kibana-8.18 package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

Improper Authorization (CWE-285) in Kibana can lead to privilege escalation (CAPEC-233) by allowing an authenticated user to bypass intended permission restrictions via a crafted HTTP request. This allows an attacker who lacks the live queries - read permission to successfully retrieve the list of live queries.
