High CVSS 7.3
CVE-2026-72658
NVD analysis in progress
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CWE-352) in Kibana can lead to privilege escalation via Cross Site Request Forgery (CAPEC-62). A user who is permitted to create visualizations can save a specially crafted Vega visualization that, when it is opened by another user, causes authenticated requests to be issued to Kibana in the context of the viewing user's session.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network and with an ordinary user account — but only if a user opens booby-trapped content.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data and modify or destroy data.
- Weakness
- A request forged from another site executes using the victim’s session (CSRF).
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
