Description

Server-Side Request Forgery (CWE-918) in Kibana allows authenticated users with connector management privileges to bypass the operator-configured connection allowlist. By configuring a Webhook connector with a crafted target, an attacker can cause Kibana to issue outbound requests to destinations that the egress restriction controls were intended to block.
