NVD description

Unintended Proxy or Intermediary ('Confused Deputy') (CWE-441) in Kibana Agent Builder can lead to privilege escalation. A non-administrative user able to edit a shared agent could cause privileged operations to be carried out under the identity of a higher-privileged user who subsequently interacts with that agent. Where the same user can also author workflows, this can extend to full administrative control of Kibana and of the Elasticsearch cluster.

    🚨High - Kibana Agent Builder Confused-Deputy Privilege Escalation (CVE-2026-72668) Kibana Agent Builder lets a non-admin who can edit a shared agent craft actions that execute when a higher-privileged user later runs/interacts with the agent, causing privileged operations under that user’s identity. If the attacker can also author workflows, this can escalate to full Kibana + Elasticsearch cluster admin control. 👉Affected: Kibana (versions not specified)
