CVE-2026-0532Network attack vector

Arbitrary file disclosure via unvalidated connector credentials

Published Jan 14, 2026 · Updated Jan 14, 2026

Combined SSRF and path control in Elastic Kibana allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary server files through a crafted Gemini connector. The Google Gemini connector processes attacker-supplied credentials JSON without validating file paths or request destinations, causing server-side file reads and outbound requests. Exploitation requires Alerts & Connectors: All privileges to create or modify connectors; the disclosed impact is file confidentiality loss and attacker-directed network access.
