CVE-2022-23709: Elastic Kibana

Medium severity, CVSS 4.3. EPSS: 0.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A flaw was discovered in Kibana in which users with Read access to the Uptime feature could modify alerting rules. A user with this privilege would be able to create new alerting rules or overwrite existing ones. However, any new or modified rules would not be enabled, and a user with this privilege could not modify alerting connectors. This effectively means that Read users could disable existing alerting rules.

Affected products

• Elastic Kibana: from 7.7.0, before 7.17.1 (fixed in 7.17.1); version 8.0.0 only
