Summary
Elastic Kibana from 9.2.0 through 9.3.8 is affected. An internal API in the Metrics Experience feature skips a Kibana authorization check (CWE-862) that a related API in the same feature enforces. A user with low privileges who has read access to an index in the data store, but no matching Kibana feature privilege, can retrieve metric data derived from that index through Kibana.

Description from the CNA
Missing Authorization (CWE-862) in Kibana can lead to information disclosure via Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs (CAPEC-1). An internal API surface within the Metrics Experience feature did not enforce a Kibana-level authorization check that an equivalent, related API in the same feature did enforce. As a result, a user who held only data-store-level read access to an index, but no corresponding Kibana feature privilege, could retrieve index-derived metric data through Kibana that the properly-authorized API would otherwise have blocked.
