Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Kibana (affected versions not specified)
Description
An issue exists where a Kibana visualization feature does not correctly validate malformed payloads submitted by authenticated users with low-privileged access. This leads to unbounded memory growth in the Kibana process, causing the host to terminate the process once available memory is exhausted. Consequently, the service becomes unavailable to all users until it is restarted, resulting in a denial of service.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
