A deserialization issue in Kibana can lead to arbitrary code execution when Kibana attempts to parse a YAML document containing a crafted payload. This issue only affects users that use Elastic Security’s built-in AI tools https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/security/current/ai-for-security.html  and have configured an Amazon Bedrock connector https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/security/current/assistant-connect-to-bedrock.html .

Weakness

The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Kibana Elastic 8.15.0 (including) 8.15.0 (including)

Potential Mitigations

  • Make fields transient to protect them from deserialization.
  • An attempt to serialize and then deserialize a class containing transient fields will result in NULLs where the transient data should be. This is an excellent way to prevent time, environment-based, or sensitive variables from being carried over and used improperly.
