CVE-2026-63260
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Uncontrolled Resource Consumption (CWE-400) in Kibana can lead to denial of service via Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130). An authenticated attacker with low-privilege access can trigger a denial of service condition in Kibana by sending a specially crafted, oversized request payload. Processing this user-supplied input requires resource-intensive memory allocation that can exhaust the available heap memory in the Kibana process, causing it to crash and become unavailable to all users.

Un atacante autenticado con acceso de bajo privilegio puede desencadenar una condición de denegación de servicio en Kibana al enviar una carga útil de solicitud especialmente diseñada y de tamaño excesivo. El procesamiento de esta entrada proporcionada por el usuario requiere una asignación de memoria intensiva en recursos que puede agotar la memoria heap disponible en el proceso de Kibana, provocando que se bloquee y quede no disponible para todos los usuarios."
