Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote user to modify case data without authorization.
The vulnerability exists due to improperly controlled modification of dynamically-determined object attributes in the case management API of Elastic Security in Kibana when handling user-controlled object attributes. A remote user can manipulate user-controlled variables to modify case data without authorization.
