CWE-770

Description

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CWE-770) in Kibana can lead to denial of service via Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130). An authenticated user with read-only privileges to the alerting feature could submit a specially crafted, malformed payload that causes the Kibana process to consume excessive resources. A single request is sufficient to leave Kibana unable to serve requests for all users until the process is restarted.

Affected configurations

• elastic kibana (>= 8.0.0 < 8.19.20) • elastic kibana (>= 9.0.0 < 9.4.5)
