Summary
Uncontrolled Resource Consumption in Kibana Leading to Denial of Service
Details

Uncontrolled Resource Consumption (CWE-400) in Kibana can lead to denial of service via Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130). An authenticated user can send a specially crafted compressed request payload that is processed prior to authorization checks, causing excessive memory and CPU resource consumption that can result in a Kibana instance becoming unresponsive or crashing.
