Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-01 21:31 – Updated: 2026-09-01 21:31

Details

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 with low-level permissions could submit a specially crafted request that causes excessive resource consumption, which may render Kibana unavailable.

Severity

6.5 (Medium)


                  
                    CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
