CVE-2024-37285

Status: AnalyzedHigh (7.2)—

A deserialization issue in Kibana can lead to arbitrary code execution when Kibana attempts to parse a YAML document containing a crafted payload. A successful attack requires a malicious user to have a combination of both specific Elasticsearch indices privileges https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/defining-roles.html#roles-indices-priv  and Kibana privileges https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/current/fleet-roles-and-privileges.html  assigned to them.

The following Elasticsearch indices permissions are required

Any of the following Kibana privileges are additionally required

Technical details traces, logs and code from the original report
  *  write privilege on the system indices .kibana_ingest*
  *  The allow_restricted_indices flag is set to true

  *  Under Fleet the All privilege is granted
  *  Under Integration the Read or All privilege is granted
  *  Access to the fleet-setup privilege is gained through the Fleet Server’s service account token

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
