Weaknesses (CWE)

CWE-250Execution with Unnecessary Privileges

Description

Execution with Unnecessary Privileges (CWE-250) in the Kibana machine learning feature can lead to information disclosure via Privilege Abuse (CAPEC-122). An operation available to users holding only read access to the machine learning feature was performed with an internal service identity rather than the identity of the requesting user. Such a user could therefore receive data from Elasticsearch indices they are not authorized to read. No Elasticsearch cluster or index privileges are required.
