Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.47%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

A low-privileged authenticated user can send a specially crafted request to a Kibana machine learning feature, causing the server to exhaust available memory and become unavailable to all users.
