CVE-2026-72663— Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity in Kibana Leading to Denial of Service

Quick assessment

Affected
Elastic Kibana
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

Elastic Kibana是荷兰Elastic公司开源的一个视觉化仪表板。 Elastic Kibana 8.0.0版本至8.19.19版本和9.0.0版本至9.4.4版本存在资源管理错误漏洞，该漏洞源于低效算法复杂性，特制的深度嵌套表达式提交至Kibana TSVB可视化时，评估成本随输入大小不成比例增长，且同步执行会无限消耗请求处理线程，导致拒绝服务。

Vulnerability Title
Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity in Kibana Leading to Denial of Service
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity (CWE-407) in Kibana can lead to denial of service via Input Data Manipulation (CAPEC-153). A specially crafted, deeply nested expression submitted to a Kibana TSVB visualization is evaluated with a worst-case cost that grows disproportionately with the size of the input. Because the evaluation runs synchronously, a single request consumes the Kibana request-processing thread indefinitely, and Kibana stops responding to all further requests until the service is restarted.
