Summary
Kibana Agent Builder is affected by a Confused Deputy vulnerability (CWE-441) that can lead to privilege escalation. A non-administrative user able to edit a shared agent could cause privileged operations to be performed under the identity of a higher-privileged user. If the same user can also author workflows, this can extend to full administrative control of Kibana and the Elasticsearch cluster.
Risk Assessment
Privilege escalation to Kibana and Elasticsearch administrator level is possible, potentially leading to full control over the environment. The risk is high in environments where many users can edit agents or workflows.
Recommendation
Restrict the ability to edit shared agents and author workflows to trusted users and apply the vendor patch. Monitor privileged operations performed under other users' identities.

Vulnerability in the JSSE component of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. It is easily exploitable by an unauthenticated attacker with network access, leading to unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of critical data as well as unauthorized access to critical data. The vulnerability also applies to Java deployments that load and run untrusted code in a sandbox (e.g., Java Web Start applications or applets).

- CVE-2026-115932Critical
In Postiz, a media path that is not a web address is treated as a file on the server's disk without verifying it lies inside the upload directory. A registered user can store a crafted media path with a post and cause the publishing worker to read an arbitrary file and send it as an attachment to a Discord server the user controls. The same unconfined reads are reachable through two further routes, including file existence checks and backend memory exhaustion; self-registration is open by default.

Original NVD description (English source)
Unintended Proxy or Intermediary ('Confused Deputy') (CWE-441) in Kibana Agent Builder can lead to privilege escalation. A non-administrative user able to edit a shared agent could cause privileged operations to be carried out under the identity of a higher-privileged user who subsequently interacts with that agent. Where the same user can also author workflows, this can extend to full administrative control of Kibana and of the Elasticsearch cluster.
