[TLP:CLEAR] Elastic Kibana fixes a medium-severity vulnerability

Elastic fixes a medium-severity vulnerability in the Kibana product with versions 9.1.3 and 9.0.6 [1].

Elastic Kibana - privilege escalation (CVE-2025-25010)

CVSS 6.5 (Medium)

An authenticated remote attacker with the 'reporting_user' role can elevate their privileges and gain access to all Kibana Spaces [1]. Only instances where this role is assigned to end users are vulnerable. In addition to updating to a fixed version, it is also necessary to invalidate API Keys created by users with this role, as they retain the elevated privileges even in fixed versions. If an immediate update is not possible, administrators are advised, as a temporary risk mitigation, to remove the 'reporting_user' role and replace it with a custom one with restricted access.

The vulnerability is present in product:

Kibana; >=9.0.0, <=9.0.5; >=9.1.0, <=9.1.2;

CVSS: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

More information:

CVE-2025-25010 at cve.org, NVD
CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization at cwe.mitre.org

The vulnerability was publicly disclosed 28. 8. 2025.
