Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This is an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in Kibana's Canvas feature. An authenticated low-privileged user can send a specially crafted request that causes the Kibana server process to terminate, leading to a denial of service for all users of that instance.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, monitor Kibana server logs for excessive resource usage or crashes during Canvas functionality requests. Check for high memory or CPU consumption by the Kibana process. No specific commands are provided in the context.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability can cause your Kibana server to crash, making it unavailable for all users. This disrupts access to dashboards, data analysis, and other Kibana features until the service is restored.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could impact compliance with GDPR and HIPAA by causing service disruptions. Denial of service may lead to unauthorized data access or loss of availability, which violates GDPR's integrity and availability principles and HIPAA's access control requirements.

Mitigation Strategies

Update Kibana to the latest patched version immediately to address the uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in Canvas functionality. Restrict user privileges to minimize attack surface and monitor server processes for unexpected terminations.
