Assessment
Why it matters
EPSS is 0.3%; technical severity is CVSS 6.5.
Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CWE-770) in Kibana can lead to a denial of service via Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130). An authenticated user can submit a specially crafted request to affected Entity Analytics endpoints containing an oversized input value that causes excessive resource consumption, which may render Kibana unavailable.
Who should care
- Teams operating Kibana
- Vulnerability and exposure management teams
- Security operations teams monitoring exploitation activity
Response plan
What I would do
