CVE-2026-72675Network attack vectorHinoki check available

Cross-space data disclosure and modification via omitted filter

Published Aug 13, 2026 · Updated Aug 13, 2026

Missing authorization in Kibana 8.0.0 through 8.19.19 and 9.0.0 through 9.4.4 allows remote authenticated users to access cross-space ML data. Machine Learning runs Elasticsearch operations with elevated internal permissions, but affected functionality omits the per-request space filter and applies requests to ML data in every space. All configurations are affected; an account with Machine Learning access in one space can read or modify other spaces’ ML data without interrupting service.
