important · Kibana — privilege

A low-privilege Kibana agent editor can borrow a later administrator’s authority.

Affects

Kibana Agent Builder and Workflows, the AI-agent interface for Elasticsearch deployments.

An account allowed to manage agents and create Workflows can attach attacker-controlled behavior to a shared agent. When an administrator later interacts with it, the workflow runs with that administrator’s authority and can create durable cluster credentials.

Detail and 1 source

Elastic says Agent Builder and Workflows are enabled by default and names fixed releases.
