CVE-2026-78591— Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in Kibana Leading to Unauthorized Resource Deletion

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.

Kibana 的 Fleet 功能中存在的“路径名未限制在受限目录内”（路径遍历，CWE-22）缺陷，可能导致通过路径遍历实现资源的非授权删除（CAPEC-126）。低权限用户可使得高权限用户在 Fleet 管理界面中执行的后续操作作用于非预期的目标，从而导致资源被删除，其中包括拥有提升后权限的账户。
