A non-administrative user able to edit a shared agent could cause privileged operations to be carried out under the identity of a higher-privileged user who subsequently interacts with that agent. Where the same user can also author workflows, this can extend to full administrative control of Kibana and of the Elasticsearch cluster.","categories":["Applications & CMS"],"product":"Kibana","vendor":"Elastic","ecosystem":null,"affected_ranges":[{"source":"CVE List","source_url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-72668","source_modified_at":"2026-09-29T03:55:23.608Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:52:38.922436Z","product":"Kibana","vendor":"Elastic","versions":[{"status":"affected","versionType":"semver","version":"9.4.0","lessThanOrEqual":"9.4.6"}],"defaultStatus":"unaffected"}],"fixed_versions":[],"cvss":7.3,"severity":"High","kev":{"listed":false},"epss":{"probability":0.00178,"percentile":0.06959,"score_date":"2026-10-23"},"published_at":"2026-09-26T20:42:09.858Z","modified_at":"2026-09-29T03:55:23.608Z","provenance":[{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-72668","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:52:38.922436Z","source_modified_at":"2026-09-29T03:55:23.608Z"},{"source":"EPSS","url":"https://api.first.org/data/v1/epss?cve=CVE-2026-72668","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:42:43.628194Z","source_modified_at":"2026-10-23"}],"sources":["CVE List","EPSS"],"references":[{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-9-4-7-9-5-0-security-update-esa-2026-85/390678"}],"locations":[],"motoko_assessment":{"status":"requires_architecture_review","automatic_remediation":false},"cve_state":"PUBLISHED","cvss_source":"CVE List","ssvc":{"exploitation":"none","automatable":"no","technical_impact":"total","assessed_at":"2026-09-28T00:00:00+00:00"},"classification":{"method":"product-first software-layer rules","rules_version":"2.1","matched_on":"product","confidence":"heuristic","reviewed":false},"change_timestamp":"2026-09-29T03:55:23.608Z","content_hash":"bac2b0e3c747a083722dc464a64ed7c3e5edebf7f9721dac4dfd4b07454b9a7e"}}
