CVE-2026-72630
HighCVSS 7.1Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk12th percentile - higher than 12% of all known CVEs
Summary
Incorrect Authorization in Kibana Fleet can lead to privilege escalation. Fleet restricts some callers to managing integration policies for one specific integration, but when updating a policy, the restriction is evaluated against the stored integration rather than the replacement integration.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes the ability to convert an endpoint policy into a policy for a different integration and supply its configuration, potentially leading to unauthorized system configuration changes.
Recommendation
Apply Kibana Fleet patches and verify privileges when updating integration policies.
Original NVD description (English source)
Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863) in Kibana Fleet can lead to privilege escalation via Privilege Abuse (CAPEC-122). Fleet restricts some callers to managing integration policies for one specific integration. When an existing integration policy was updated, that restriction was evaluated against the integration recorded on the stored policy rather than against the replacement integration supplied with the update. An authenticated user holding only the Elastic Defend endpoint policy management privilege was therefore able to convert an endpoint policy they administer into a policy for a different integration, and to supply that integration's configuration at the same time.
