Description

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CWE-770) in Kibana can lead to a denial of service via Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130). An authenticated user with low-level privileges could submit a specially crafted request that causes Kibana to consume an unbounded amount of memory, rendering it unavailable to all users.
