CVE-2026-72674 PUBLISHED

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in Kibana Leading to Denial of Service

Assigner: elastic
Reserved: 10.08.2026 Published: 13.08.2026 Updated: 13.08.2026

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CWE-770) in Kibana can lead to a denial of service via Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130). A user-supplied list of document fields accepted by the Kibana Playground for RAG feature was neither bounded in length nor de-duplicated before it was used to assemble the response for each matching document. A single crafted request could therefore make Kibana build a response far larger than the data it was derived from, and the resulting processing and memory pressure exhausts the resources of the Kibana instance.
