Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-72662 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- kibana (Bitnami): affected from 8.0.0; fixed in 8.19.22, 9.4.6\n- elk (Bitnami): affected from 8.0.0; fixed in 8.19.22, 9.4.6\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72662/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72662/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-72662","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72662/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-72662","record":{"aliases":["BIT-elk-2026-72662","BIT-kibana-2026-72662","GHSA-hgww-7pvf-x93v","MINI-24wx-3qhx-f3rr","MINI-382j-gxxx-5pfv","MINI-9jqv-rgj7-pwpr","MINI-9r53-g85q-qp65","MINI-f269-xxcg-gqp4","MINI-r75j-xmhv-9fxc","MINI-wccp-vw36-7jfv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Kibana data visualization","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users with Timeline privileges can bypass authorization to read, modify, and delete other users' draft Timeline objects in Kibana.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"elastic","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-639","name":"Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key"}],"description":"Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key (CWE-639) in Kibana can lead to unauthorized disclosure, modification, and deletion of data via Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs (CAPEC-1).
