NewCVE-2026-72673 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade kibana to version 8.19.20, 9.4.4 or higher.
Overview
kibana is an open source (Apache Licensed), browser-based analytics and search dashboard for Elasticsearch.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization via insufficient authorization when deleting shared Synthetics private locations in Kibana. An authenticated attacker with Synthetics write privileges in one space can delete a private location shared with other spaces that they are not authorized to access. Because the deletion safeguard only checks monitors visible within the attacker's current space, dependencies in other spaces are ignored. Deleting the shared private location stops monitors in those spaces from running, potentially disrupting availability monitoring.
