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 in the Fleet. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to manage integration policies for different integrations by updating an existing integration policy, as the restriction is evaluated against the stored policy's integration rather than the replacement integration provided during the update. This allows an authenticated user with limited privileges to escalate their access by converting an endpoint policy they control into a policy for another integration and supplying its configuration.
