CVE-2026-72681 PUBLISHED

Missing Authorization in Kibana Leading to Privilege Escalation and Information Disclosure

Assigner: elastic
Reserved: 10.08.2026 Published: 13.08.2026 Updated: 14.08.2026

Kibana Agent Builder does not correctly verify that the requesting user holds the privileges required by a separate Kibana feature before it creates and runs a tool that invokes that feature's functionality. This allows privilege escalation and could lead to disclosure of sensitive information that the user is not authorized to read.
