Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Elastic Kibana up to 8.19.19/9.4.4. It has been classified as problematic. This affects an unknown code of the component Case Management API. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a dynamically-determined object attributes vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-915. The product receives input from an upstream component that specifies multiple attributes, properties, or fields that are to be initialized or updated in an object, but it does not properly control which attributes can be modified. This is going to have an impact on integrity. The summary by CVE is:

Improperly Controlled Modification of Dynamically-Determined Object Attributes (CWE-915) in the case management functionality of Elastic Security in Kibana can lead to unauthorized modification of case data by an authenticated user who has not been granted case editing privileges, via Manipulating User-Controlled Variables (CAPEC-77). Object attributes accepted by the case management API were not subject to the same authorization enforcement applied in the user interface, so a low-privileged user could alter case records they were only entitled to view.
