An authenticated user who holds only generic read access to the space can therefore discover the onboarding flows of other users, read their onboarding state, and write arbitrary progress data into them. A tampered flow can also cause the owner's onboarding view to fail with a server error.","published":"2026-08-13T20:17:27.000Z","lastModified":"2026-09-04T20:18:31.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"security@elastic.co","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.6,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:L"},"cwe":["CWE-862"],"affected":["elastic/kibana"],"epss":{"score":0.00328,"percentile":0.2581,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.33%).
