Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-72671 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- kibana (Bitnami): affected from 8.0.0; fixed in 8.19.20, 9.4.5\n- elk (Bitnami): affected from 8.0.0; fixed in 8.19.20, 9.4.5\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-2026-72671/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72671/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-72671","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72671/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-72671","record":{"aliases":["BIT-elk-2026-72671","BIT-kibana-2026-72671","GHSA-92c8-vpgp-w44c","MINI-74rm-7r4w-g4rw","MINI-7m7f-c3r3-76j9","MINI-j9f9-g4wq-mhv8","MINI-q2pv-v532-2cqj","MINI-q48w-vqh5-c5jp","MINI-x32g-frwp-rp3j","MINI-xqmr-3mqp-vhpq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Kibana ML module","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers with specific job privileges can remove trained models from spaces due to missing authorization checks, requiring a patch.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"elastic","cpe":[{"product":"kibana","vendor":"elastic"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"A Kibana Machine Learning capability that removes a saved object from the current space accepts machine learning trained models as a target, but it verifies only the privileges that apply to anomaly detection jobs and data frame analytics jobs.

The model itself is not deleted and remains available in its other spaces, and the change can be reversed by a suitably privileged user.","ecosystems":["Bitnami"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Missing authorization in Kibana","id":"CVE-2026-72671","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"elastic:kibana","products":["elastic:kibana"],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Incorrect Authorization in Kibana Leading to Disclosure of Elastic Defend Endpoint Event Data","id":"CVE-2026-72672"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["8.19.20","9.4.5"],"introduced":["8.0.0","9.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"elk","purl":"pkg:bitnami/elk","source":"BIT-elk-2026-72671"},{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["8.19.20","9.4.5"],"introduced":["8.0.0","9.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"kibana","purl":"pkg:bitnami/kibana","source":"BIT-kibana-2026-72671"}],"prev":{"headline":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in Kibana Leading to Disclosure of Fleet Proxy Credentials","id":"CVE-2026-72670"},"products":["Kibana"],"published":"2026-08-13","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Kibana Arbitrary Code Execution","id":"CVE-2019-7609","kev_date_added":"2022-01-10","published":"2019-03-25"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Kibana arbitrary code execution via prototype pollution","id":"CVE-2025-25015","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-05"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Deserialization in Kibana","id":"CVE-2024-37288","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-09"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Code injection in Kibana","id":"CVE-2023-31415","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-04"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in Kibana","id":"CVE-2018-17245","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-12-20"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in Kibana","id":"CVE-2018-17246","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-12-20"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Kibana arbitrary code execution via prototype pollution","id":"CVE-2025-25014","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-06"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"Bitnami","prefix":"BIT"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-13","vendors":["Elastic"]},"summary":"Attackers with specific job privileges can remove trained models from spaces due to missing authorization checks, requiring a patch.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72671/"}
