{"id":"BIT-elk-2026-72633","summary":"Incorrect Authorization in Kibana Leading to Unauthorized Disabling of Privilege Monitoring","details":"Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863) in Kibana Entity Analytics can lead to a loss of security monitoring via Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs (CAPEC-1). An authenticated user holding only read-level Security feature access, and no Elasticsearch privileges, could stop the recurring Privilege Monitoring engine task for a Kibana space. Privileged user monitoring then stops producing data for that space while the engine continues to report a healthy state to operators.","aliases":["BIT-kibana-2026-72633","CVE-2026-72633"],"modified":"2026-09-08T08:47:08.331360058Z","published":"2026-09-07T05:40:42.320Z","database_specific":{"severity":"Medium","cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:elasticsearch:kibana:*:*:*:*:*:node.js:*:*"]},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-9-4-6-9-5-2-security-update-esa-2026-130/390059"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-72633"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"elk","ecosystem":"Bitnami","purl":"pkg:bitnami/elk"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"9.1.0"},{"fixed":"9.4.6"},{"introduced":"9.5.0"},{"fixed":"9.5.2"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/bitnami/vulndb/tree/main/data/elk/BIT-elk-2026-72633.json"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N"}]}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
